2. Autoantibody - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoantibody

   As a rule, information is required from multiple sources, rather than a single laboratory test to accurately diagnose disorders associated with systemic autoantibodies. Tests may include: blood tests to detect inflammation, autoantibodies, and organ involvement; x-rays and other imaging scans to detect changes in bones, joints, and organs

3. Anti-mitochondrial antibody - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-mitochondrial_antibody

   Anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA) are autoantibodies, consisting of immunoglobulins formed against mitochondria, [1] primarily the mitochondria in cells of the liver.. The presence of AMA in the blood or serum of a person may be indicative of the presence of, or the potential to develop, the autoimmune disease primary biliary cholangitis (PBC; previously known as primary biliary cirrhosis).

4. Anti-cardiolipin antibodies - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-cardiolipin_antibodies

   Schematic representation of antibody. Anti-cardiolipin antibodies (ACA) are antibodies often directed against cardiolipin and found in several diseases, including syphilis, [1] antiphospholipid syndrome, livedoid vasculitis, vertebrobasilar insufficiency, Behçet's syndrome, [2] idiopathic spontaneous abortion, [3] and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). [4]

5. Anti-histone antibodies - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-histone_antibodies

   A value of greater than 1.5 units relative to a control serum is considered a positive ELISA test for the anti-histone antibodies. Patients with drug-induced lupus erythematosus typically have positive tests for anti-histone antibodies but do not have indications for anti-dsDNA antibodies. Patients with idiopathic systemic lupus erythematosus ...

6. Anti-SSA/Ro autoantibodies - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-SSA/Ro_autoantibodies

   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 ...

   People with autoimmune diseases still suffer from pain and other symptoms, but today treatments and ongoing research are light-years ahead of where they were a few decades ago. “This is a very ...

8. Extractable nuclear antigen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extractable_nuclear_antigen

   The applications of anti-ENA testing varies from excluding patient groups from specific groups, connective tissue diseases, and to monitor disease activity. In essence, it allows clinicians to exclude specific autoimmune disorders if a particular autoantibody is not present, and allows clinicians to track progression of a disease if the levels ...

9. Autoimmune disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoimmune_disease

   Laboratory testing plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases. These tests can identify the presence of certain autoantibodies or other immune markers that indicate a self-directed immune response. Autoantibody testing: Many autoimmune diseases are characterized by the presence of autoantibodies.
