Basement Membrane Zone Antibody Panel
Ordering Recommendation
Use as the preferred initial diagnostic panel for suspected basement membrane zone antibody-associated skin and mucous membrane disorders that present with blistering, erosions, eczema, urticaria, pruritus, and/or mucositis. May be indicated by concurrent Direct Immunofluorescence, Tissue Biopsy (Cutaneous, Mucosal, Epithelial) (0092572).
Alternatively, order the comprehensive Immunobullous Disease Antibody Panel (3001409) for initial serum diagnostic assessment of epithelial antibody-associated diseases, pemphigoid, pemphigus, and their variants.
For more information about components, methodology, and specimen type, see the ARUP Immunobullous Disease Testing Comparison tool.
New York DOH Approval Status
Specimen Required
Plain Red or Serum Separator Tube (SST).
Transfer 2 mL serum to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. (Min: 0.5 mL)
Refrigerated/Ambient
Hemolyzed or lipemic specimens. Plasma
As a general rule, serum specimens should be shipped to the laboratory as soon as possible.
Store refrigerated unless shipping promptly (within 2 hours). Transport at ambient temperature to arrive within 7 days. If 7-14 days until received in laboratory, store and ship refrigerated. If greater than 14 days, serum specimens must be stored and shipped frozen.
Ambient: 1 week; Refrigerated: 2 weeks; Frozen: Indefinitely
