Cardiolipin IgM ELISA Kit

Cardiolipin IgM ELISA Kitis available at Gentaur for Next week Delivery.

A Sandwich ELISA kit for the qualitative detect Cardiolipin IgM in human serum or plasma..

Description:

Measurement of IgG, IgM and IgA cardiolipin autoantibodies (aCL) by EIA is the standard procedure for the detection of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) in patients with suspected antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). High aCL concentrations are associated with increased risk of venous and arterial thrombosis, recurrent pregnancy loss and thrombocytopenia. Patients with the anti-cardiolipin syndrome have one of the above clinical features and have antibodies to cardiolipin and/or a positive lupus anticoagulant test. The antibodies present to cardiolipin may be of the IgG, IgA, IgM isotypes. Testing for the various antibody isotypes to cardiolipin aid in diagnosis of the anti-phospholipid syndrome in patients with SLE or lupus-like disorders. Binding of aCL to CL in patients with autoimmune diseases is dependent on the presence of the cofactor beta-2-glycoprotein I (beta2-GPI); this binding is independent of beta-2-GPI in patients with infectious diseases (e.g., syphilis, tuberculosis). Recognition of the role of beta-2- GPI in the binding of aCL led to development of assay for direct measurement of beta-2-GPI autoantibodies using beta-2-GPI as antigen, allowing a clear distinction between beta-2-GPI autoantibodies and those that bind to CL alone.

Applications: This ELISA kit is used for quantitative measurement of Cardiolipin IgM in serum and plasma.
