Detection of anti-SSA antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence.
BACKGROUND HEp-2 cells that overexpress the human 60-kDa SSA antigen have been used to improve sensitivity and specificity for the detection of anti-SSA antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence. We describe a survey on the detection of anti-SSA antibodies using a commercial substrate that overexpresses SSA. METHODS The evaluation was done on 18 371 consecutive samples submitted to the labora...
متن کاملHuman amnion membrane as a substrate for the detection of autoantibodies in pemphigus vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid.
BACKGROUND Human amnion membrane (HAM) was suggested to be a superior antigenic substrate for immunoblotting in detecting autoantibodies of autoimmune bullous skin diseases. OBJECTIVES To determine the properties of HAM as an antigenic substrate for the detection of autoantibodies in pemphigus vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid. METHODS Immunomapping and tandem liquid chromatography mass spect...
متن کاملCharacterization of a panel of six β2-adrenergic receptor antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy
BACKGROUND The beta2-adrenergic receptor (beta2AR) is a primary target for medications used to treat asthma. Due to the low abundance of beta2AR, very few studies have reported its localization in tissues. However, the intracellular location of beta2AR in lung tissue, especially in airway smooth muscle cells, is very likely to have a significant impact on how the airways respond to beta-agonist...
متن کاملIndirect immunofluorescence test for the detection of Aspergillus fumigatus antibodies.
An indirect immunofluorescence test was both sensitive and specific in detecting IgG antibodies to Aspergillus fumigatus. The test revealed a significant increase in titre of antibodies in patients with the allergic or mycetomal forms of pulmonary aspergillosis.
متن کاملDetection of Cryptosporidium oocysts in human fecal specimens by an indirect immunofluorescence assay with monoclonal antibodies.
An indirect fluorescence assay (IFA) with monoclonal antibodies developed for the detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts in fecal smears (Meridian Diagnostics, Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio) was compared with the Zeihl-Neelsen-modified acid-fast stain (MAFS) in 119 human fecal specimens collected between 1984 and 1987. The sensitivity of the IFA was 100%; all 56 specimens positive by MAFS exhibited fluo...
