The Anti-Cardiolipin-A ELISA is a solid phase enzyme immunoassay employing highly purified cardiolipin plus native human Beta-2-glycoprotein I (Beta-2-GPI) for the semiquantitative and qualitative detection of IgA antibodies against cardiolipin in human serum. Anti-cardiolipin antibodies mainly recognize specific epitopes on a complex composed of cardiolipin and Beta-2-GPI which are only expressed when Beta-2-GPI interacts with cardiolipin. The assay is an aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), primary and secondary anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS) and should be used in conjunction with other serological tests and clinical findings.

INTENDED USE Detection and semi-quantitation of anti-phosphatidylserine antibodi
INTENDED USE Detection and semi-quantitation of anti-phosphatidylserine antibodies in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus-like disorders (anti-phospholipid syndrome). For In Vitro Diagnostic Use.SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION OF THE TEST High serum levels of anti-phospholipid antibodies are frequently detected in patients with autoimmune (i.e., SLE) and non-autoimmune diseases, as well as in apparently healthy individuals. These antibodies have been associated with an increased risk for recurrent arterial and venous thrombotic events, thrombocytopenia and fetal loss. Phosphatidylserine is a more physiologically relevant phospholipid due to its presence in cell membranes of endothelial cells and platelets.PRINCIPLE OF THE TESTThe test is an indirect ELISA. Diluted serum/plasma samples, calibrator sera, and controls are incubated in phosphatidylserine coated microwells. β2-glycoprotein I is provided in the sample diluent. After the removal of unbound serum/ plasma proteins by washing, antibodies specific for human IgG, labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), are added forming complexes with the phosphatidylserine bound antibodies. Following another washing step, the bound enzyme-antibody conjugate is assayed by the addition of a single solution containing tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the chromogenic substrate. Color develops in the wells at an intensity proportional to the serum concentration of anti-phosphatidylserine (aPS) antibodies. Results are obtained by reading the Optical Density of each well in a spectrophotometer. Calibrator sera are provided with the IgG anti-phosphatidylserine antibody concentrations expressed in GPS (IgG aPS) units traceable to the reference preparations of the Louisville Antiphospholipid Laboratory Control and patient results are determined from the calibration curve. Refer to Package Insert.

INTENDED USE For the detection and semi-quantitation of anti-cardiolipin antibod
INTENDED USE For the detection and semi-quantitation of anti-cardiolipin antibodies in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus-like disorders (anti-phospholipid syndrome). For In Vitro Diagnostic Use.SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION OF THE TEST Anti-phospholipid antibodies are autoantibodies that react with most negatively charged phospholipids, including cardiolipin (CL). Anti-cardiolipin (aCL) antibodies are frequently found in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Elevated levels of aCL antibodies have been reported to be significantly associated with the presence of both venous and arterial thrombosis, thrombocytopenia, and recurrent fetal loss. The term “anti-phospholipid syndrome” (APS) has been introduced to describe patients who present these clinical manifestations. PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST The test is an indirect ELISA. Diluted serum samples, calibrator sera, and controls are incubated in cardiolipin coated microwells, allowing aCL antibodies present in the samples to react with the immobilized antigen. After the removal of unbound serum proteins by washing, antibodies specific for human IgA labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) are added forming complexes with the cardiolipin bound antibodies. Following another wash step, the bound enzyme-antibody conjugate is assayed by the addition of tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the chromogenic substrate. Color develops in the wells at an intensity proportional to the serum concentration of IgA aCL antibodies. Results are obtained by reading the O.D. of each well with a spectrophotometer. Calibrator sera are provided, with the IgA aCL concentration expressed in APL units. Control and patient results are determined from the calibration curve. Refer to Package Insert.
