Test Type: Serum 5 mL
Overview:
Use: The ANA 12 Plus Profile is a reflexive assay. If the ANA titer is negative, no further tests are performed except for Anti-Ro Ab. Anti-Ro is performed to find the very small percentage of false negative ANAs. If the ANA titer is positive, the complete profile is performed. The ANA test detects autoantibodies that bind to the nuclear components of HEp-2 cells. A positive ANA titer is not specific but indicates the presence of one or more autoantibodies. Profiles of specific autoantibodies have diagnostic and potential prognostic utility.
