Abstract: | The anticardiolipin ELISA assay was devised just over 10 years ago to detect patients with the APS, a disorder of recurrentthrombosis and/or pregnancy Though a series of workshops, the ELISA technique for detection of anticardiolipin antibodies has been standardized and units of measurement established.Manipulation of phospholipid antigens has enable a more specific detection of APS sera without loss of sensitivity. Inclusion of an in-house positive control in addition to calibrators may enable greater reproducibility of the anticardiolipin test. Since the lupus anticoagulant test alone may be positive, physicians should order both tests in patients suspected of having the APS. These patients need to be diagnosed since prophylactic tre prevent recurrent thrombosis and pregnancy losses. |
