Rheumatic disease test kit DotDiver ANA 18

IgGserumline immunoassay

The DotDiver ANA 18 is a qualitative line immunoassay for the determination of IgG antibodies against nuclear and cytoplasmic antigens (dsDNA, nucleosomes, Sm, Sm/RNP, ribosomal P0, histones, U1 snRNP, SS-A/Ro60, SS-A/Ro52, SS-B, Scl-70, PM/Scl-100, CENP-A/B, PCNA, Jo-1, M2, DFS-70 and f-actin) in human serum. The DotDiver ANA 18 is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of systemic inflammatory rheumatic diseases in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings. The immunoassay is designed for semi-automated use with the DotDiver instrument. The immunoassay is designed for professional in vitro diagnostic use. Diagnostic Relevance The detection of antibodies in patient samples is well established and plays an essential role in the diagnosis of systemic autoimmune diseases. The appearance of antibodies directed against components of the cell nucleus are characteristic features of systemic autoimmune diseases, especially systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjögren’s syndrome, progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS), mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and dermatomyositis.
