A range of in vitro diagnostic ELISA (EIA) immunoassays for the detection of anti-nuclear antibodies directed against nuclear antigens to aid in the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases.
Anti-nuclear antibodies are divided into 4 categories according to the nuclear antigens they target:
- DNA
- Histone
- RNA bound non-histone proteines
- Nucleolar
Mastazyme autoimmune EIA kits incorporate assays to screen for multiple autoimmune indicators in addition to the detection of individual auto-antibodies which are highly predictive for specific autoimmune conditions.
Antigens for the anti-nuclear auto-antibodies are pre-coated onto 96 well microtitre plates in break-apart strip format (12 x 8) to allow for random sampling, manual processing and use with automated EIA analysers.
