AMERICAN LABORATORY PRODUCTS COMPANY, LTD. 35-CAAHU-E01 Anti-Cardiolipin-A ELISA

The Anti-Cardiolipin-A ELISA is a solid phase enzyme immunoassay employing highly purified cardiolipin plus native human Beta-2-glycoprotein I (Beta-2-GPI) for the semiquantitative and qualitative detection of IgA antibodies against cardiolipin in human serum. Anti-cardiolipin antibodies mainly recognize specific epitopes on a complex composed of cardiolipin and Beta-2-GPI which are only expressed when Beta-2-GPI interacts with cardiolipin. The assay is an aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), primary and secondary anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS) and should be used in conjunction with other serological tests and clinical findings.
