  ANA Screen  
     
  The presence of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) occurs with high frequency in systemic autoimmune diseases. When an autoimmune disorder is suspected the first diagnostic step is the screening for ANAs. These antibodies, directed against components of the cell nucleus and the cytoplasm, were first associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but the list of involved diseases has widened because many rheumatic diseases are characterized by the presence of one or more. The LIAISON® ANA Screen is used for the collective qualitative determination of autoantibodies directed against the following antigens: double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), RNP/Sm (70 kDa), SSA (Ro) (rich in 60 kDa), SS-B (La), Scl-70, Jo-1, centromere (CENP-B) and mitochondria in human serum or plasma, along with detection of sera positive for HEp-2 immunofluorescence antibody test. This test is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of connective tissue diseases (CTD), such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), Sjögren's syndrome (SS), systemic sclerosis (Ssc), idiopatic polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM) and CREST syndrome.

  ENA  
     
  Extractable nuclear antigens (ENA) are used for the screening of clinically relevant RNP/Sm, SS-A (Ro), SSB (La), Scl-70, Jo-1 and centromere
 (CENP-B) in human serum or plasma samples. Detection of ENA autoantibodies, as well as the patient’s clinical picture, is helpful diagnostic tools for evaluation of connective tissue diseases.

  Cardiolipin IgG, IgM  
     
  Tests for IgG and IgM cardiolipin antibodies are frequently ordered to help determine the cause of an unexplained thrombotic episode, recurrent miscarriage, or thrombocytopenia. Cardiolipin antibodies may be ordered along with lupus anticoagulant testing to help investigate the cause of a prolonged PTT (activated partial thromboplastin time), especially if clinical findings suggest that the patient may have SLE or another autoimmune disorder.

  dsDNA  
     
  Antibodies against dsDNA belong to the group of Anti-Nuclear Antibodies (ANA), which are directed against various structures of the cell nuclei. Antibodies to dsDNA are a characteristic marker in patients with untreated active SLE – occurring with a prevalence ranging from 40% to 80% – and correlate with the onset of lupus nephritis. The presence of antibodies to dsDNA strongly indicates SLE, but their absence does not rule out SLE in all cases. Low levels of anti-dsDNA antibodies occur in other rheumatic diseases and, with a lower frequency, in individuals asymptomatic for rheumatic disease. Several studies report a correlation between disease activity and fluctuations in antibody levels. Consequently, quantification of anti-dsDNA autoantibodies is of paramount importance for clinical management of patients, e.g., for controlling the course of the disease, for measuring disease activity (which is directly related to circulating antibody titer), and for following up therapy outcome.
