Note

The Antinuclear Antibody (ANA), IgG by IFA with Reflex by IFA Pattern begins with Nuclear Antibody (ANA) by IFA, IgG. Depending on findings, one or more reflexive tests may be required. Tests added may include Double-Stranded DNA (dsDNA) Antibody, IgG by ELISA; Double-Stranded DNA (dsDNA) Antibody, IgG by IFA (using Crithidiae luciliae); Chromatin Antibody, IgG; Smith/RNP (ENA) Antibody, IgG; Fibrillarin (U3 RNP) Antibody, IgG; Smith (ENA) Antibody, IgG; SSA 52 (Ro) (ENA) Antibody, IgG; SSA 60 (Ro) (ENA) Antibody, IgG; SSB (La) (ENA) Antibody, IgG; Scleroderma (Scl-70) (ENA) Antibody, IgG; PM/Scl-100 Antibody, IgG, by Immunoblot; and/or RNA Polymerase III Antibody, IgG. Additional charges apply.

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.
