ENA-6 Profile ELISA Kit (Extractable Nuclear Antigen-6)
Full Name: ENA-6 Profile ELISA Kit (Extractable Nuclear Antigen-6)
Reactivity: Human
Sample Type: Plasma, Serum
Sensitivity: Diagn. 86.4%
BACKGROUND
Extractable nuclear antigen-6 (ENA-6) are intending for profiling one or more autoantibodies that has the ability to react with proteins within the cell nucleus. These are vital in helping to diagnose autoimmune disorder and aiding in distinguishing between different disorders, this is possible because one or more anti-ENA antibodies are found to be associated to specific autoimmune disorders. This assay can be either an ENA-4 or an ENA-6 autoantibody tests.
INTENDED USE
Human ENA-6 profile ELISA kit is a procedure for profile screening in-vitro quantitative levels of IgG auto-antibodies to extractable nuclear antigens (ENA-6 profile: Sm, RNP/Sm, Jo-1, SS-A, SS-B, Scl-70) in human serum and plasma samples. This assay has a minimum analytical sensitivity limit of diagn. 86.4%.
Extractable nuclear antigens (ENA-6 profile): Sm, RNP/Sm, Jo-1, SS-A (52 and 60 kDa), SS-B and Scl-70 are bound to the microwells.

SENSITIVITY
The minimum detection sensitivity level of IgG antibody to extractable nuclear antigen-6 profile (ENA-6, anti-ENA-6, ENA-6 IgG) using current ENA-6 profile ELISA kit was diagn. 86.4%. The dynamic range for this assay is to a cut-off index 1.0.
