A negative result does not necessarily exclude autoimmune disease. Positive results should not be interpreted in isolation and must be correlated with relevant clinical findings. Method of Analysis: Interstitial Lung Disease Profile consists of Line Blot Immunoassays for Myositis and Systemic Sclerosis profiles and provides qualitative in vitro determination of human autoantibodies of the immunoglobulin class IgG to the 26 different antigens Mi-2a, Mi-2b, TIF1g, MDA5, NXP2, SAE1, Ku, Scl-70, PM-Scl100, PM-Scl-75, Jo-1, SRP, PL-7, PL-12, EJ, OJ, Ro-52, cN-1A (MUP44), CENP A, CENP B, RP11, RP155, Fibrillarin, NOR90, Th/To, and PDGFR in serum. The test kits contain test strips coated with parallel lines of highly purified antigens. In the first reaction step, the immunoblot strips are incubated with diluted patient samples. In the case of positive samples, the specific IgG antibodies (also IgA and IgM) will bind to the corresponding antigenic site. To detect the bound antibodies, a second incubation is carried out using an enzyme-labelled anti-human IgG (enzyme conjugate) catalyzing a color reaction. References: 1.
