Note

Initial testing includes RF, C3, C4, and ANA. Specimens are screened for ANA using ELISA. If antibodies are detected, then an IFA titer will be added. ANA identified by indirect fluorescence assay (IFA) using HEp-2 substrate and IgG-specific conjugate at a screening dilution of 1:80. Positive nuclear patterns reported include homogeneous, speckled, centromere, nucleolar, or nuclear dots. Positive cytoplasmic patterns reported include reticular/AMA, discrete/GW body-like, polar/golgi-like, rods and rings, or cytoplasmic speckled patterns. All positive results are reported with endpoint titers at no additional charge. If confirmed by IFA, then specimen will be tested for Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Antibody; Anti-Scl-70 (ENA); Smith/RNP (ENA) Antibody, IgG; Smith (ENA) Antibody, IgG; SSA 52 and 60 (Ro) (ENA) Antibodies, IgG; SSB (La) (ENA) Antibody, IgG; and Double-Stranded DNA (dsDNA) Antibody, IgG by ELISA; if Double-Stranded DNA (dsDNA) Antibody, IgG by ELISA result is Detected, then Double-Stranded DNA (dsDNA) Antibody, IgG by IFA (using Crithidia luciliae) is added. Additional charges apply.
