Web12 dec. 2024 · Indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) has been used for detection of autoantibodies against cellular antigens for more than 50 years. Originally using rodent tissue as substrate, the method was optimized by using the human immortal HEp-2 cell line derived from a larynx epidermal carcinoma. WebActing according to the EFLM/EASI/ICAP ANA recommendations can improve the global performance and quality of HEp-2 IFA and nurture harmonization. Abstract Objectives Detection of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) by indirect immunofluorescence assay using HEp-2 cells (HEp-2 IFA) is used to screen for various autoimmune diseases. HEp-2 IFA …

Web25 jan. 2016 · Antibodies to nuclear pore complex antigens are best identified by IIF using HEp-2 cells giving a membrane-like pattern of staining. The high specificity of these … WebGiven the subjectivity of technical interpretation of IFA and the high number of ANA negative samples, a suitable EIA method for ANA screening would be beneficial to clinical laboratories with large samples volumes. Five ANA EIA screens were compared (Elias, Helix, Sanofi, TheraTest and Zeus) to IFA using a human epithelial cell line (HEp-2). The accuracy for reporting the nuclear pattern was 99% (95% CI 95–100%) for all participants, while the cytoplasmic and mitotic group categories had accuracy of 78% (CI 66–87%) and 93% (CI 81–88%), respectively (Table 3). The overall accuracy of IVD was greater than accuracy of CL (97% vs 91%, Additional … Meer weergeven There were 24 participants: 16 were CL (13 in the United States and 3 in Canada) and 8 IVD.
