Immunofluorescence pattern of SS-A and SS-B antibodies. Produced using serum from a patient on HEp-20-10 cells with a FITC conjugate. Anti-SSA autoantibodies (anti–Sjögren's-syndrome-related antigen A autoantibodies, also called anti-Ro, or similar names including anti-SSA/Ro, anti-Ro/SSA, anti–SS-A/Ro, and anti-Ro/SS-A) are a type of anti-nuclear autoantibodies that are associated with ...
Although the autoimmune CHB has a relatively high mortality and morbidity rates, the chance of kids from -mothers positive to anti-Ro\SSA and/or anti-La\SSB antibodies- to suffer from CHB is only around 1-5%, [9] [7] [10] which suggests the existence of other factors to influence the disease such as genetic and environmental factors.

Anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCAs) are antibodies against antigens presented by the cell wall of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These antibodies are directed against oligomannose sequences α-1,3 Man (α-1,2 Man α-1,2 Man) n (n = 1 or 2). [ 1 ]
Autoantibodies often tested include anti-Ro/SSA, [38] anti-nuclear antibody, anti-U1-RNP, anti-Ku, and anti-PM-Scl. [37] Although anti-La/SSB and anti-Ro/SSA are often associated with Sjogren's syndrome they have been associated with antisynthetase syndrome and severe fibrotic idiopathic interstitial lung disease by high-resolution computed ...
Neonatal lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease in an infant born to a mother with anti-Ro/SSA and with or without anti-La/SSB antibodies. [1] [2] The disease most commonly presents with a rash resembling subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus and can have systemic abnormalities such as complete heart block or hepatosplenomegaly. [3]
Anti-Ro antibodies are also found less frequently in other disorders including autoimmune liver diseases, coeliac disease, autoimmune rheumatic diseases, cardiac neonatal lupus erythematosus and polymyositis. [19] [20] During pregnancy, anti-Ro antibodies can cross the placenta and cause heart block [21] [22] and neonatal lupus in babies. [23]
Blood compatibility testing is routinely performed before a blood transfusion.The full compatibility testing process involves ABO and RhD (Rh factor) typing; screening for antibodies against other blood group systems; and crossmatching, which involves testing the recipient's blood plasma against the donor's red blood cells as a final check for incompatibility.
This is a recombinant monoclonal antibody to IgG. When using ELISA, the anti-antibody also recognizes rhesus macaque IgG1, cynomolgus monkey IgG1, and cynomolgus monkey IgG4. [10] Anti-IgG3 [NH3/15.8] This is a recombinant monoclonal antibody to IgG3. Anti-IgG3 [NH3/15.8] is most commonly used in human IgG blood transfusion serology testing. [11]
