Anti-SLA/LP ELISA- EA 1302_9601G Anti-LKM-1 ELISA- EA 1321_9601G Anti-SLA/LP ELISA: The determination of autoantibodies against SLA/LP is an essential element in the diagnostics of autoimmune diseases of the liver. The high relevance of antibodies against SLA/LP for the diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis has also been described in the most recent publication of a group of internationally renowned autoimmune hepatitis experts (Hennes et al.: Simplified criteria for the diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis, Hepatology, 2008). For many AIH patients, the detection of SLA/LP antibodies eliminate the suspicion of viral hepatitis; which can be excluded by investigation of the respective serological parameters. Anti-LKM-1 ELISA: Autoantibodies against liver-kidney microsomes (LKM-1) can occur in patients with AIH. Since they do not occur in combination with antibodies against SLA/LP, determination of these antibodies increases the serological hit rate in AIH diagnostics. For the differentiation of AIH from viral hepatitis, the parallel determination of other AIH-associated autoantibodies such as ANA, pANCA, ASMA and antibodies against LC-1 and SLA/LP is recommended. |
| EUROPattern |
 EUROPattern is a high-performance automation solution designed by EUROIMMUN for the evaluation of immunofluorescence in ANA diagnostics. IFA patterns and corresponding titers are automatically identified and recorded for each patient individually. Validation of results is then carried out by a laboratory technician, and final results can easily be exported to the in-house LIS system.
The EUROPattern suite allows for seamless evaluation of ANA IFA, from the identification of patterns and titers to the archiving and input of results, and export to the LIS system. |

 Catalog Numbers: FA 1522, EA 1590, DL 1590
The combination of a sensitive screening test (IFA) with a specific confirmatory test (ELISA, or EUROLINE) ensures the reliable determination of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA). Due to its high specificity, the indirect immunofluorescence test using human epithelial cells (HEp-2) is the gold standard for the detection of ANA’s. The unique BIOCHIPs, designed and manufactured by EUROIMMUN, allow for HEp-2 cells to be visualized with excellent clarity. Increased mitotic cells offer easy confirmation of reactions such as centromeres – simplifying and saving time during the testing procedure. To confirm results indicated by IFA and for further differentiation, ELISA and Immunoblots with defined single antigens are available. For the microplate ELISA, the nuclear antigens are coupled as purified antigens to the solid phase. This test system allows reliable differentiation along with a semi-quantitative determination of the ANA. The EUROLINE covers 12 different antigens, allowing simultaneous detection of autoantibodies against nRNP/Sm, Sm, SS-A, Ro-52, SS-B, Scl-70, Jo-1, CENP B, dsDNA, Nucleosomes, Histones and Ribosomal P-protein. |
