Antibodies against phosphatidyl-serine, an acidic phospholipid derived from glycerol, belong to the group of anti-phospholipid antibodies specific for phospholipids such as cardiolipin, phosphatidyl- inositol, -ethanolamin, -choline, sphingomyelin and phosphatidic acid.
Phospholipids are components of biological membranes.
Anti-phospholipid antibodies are frequently found in sera of subjects with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and related diseases. The occurrence of anti-phospholipid antibodies in subjects with SLE and related diseases is typical for a secondary anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS). In contrast, antiphospholipid antibodies in people with no other autoimmune diseases characterize the primary APS.
Many studies have shown a correlation between these autoantibodies and an enhanced incidence of thrombosis, thrombocytopenia and habitual abortions (as a consequence of placental infarction). The exact mechanisms by which pathogenic anti-phospholipid antibodies induce thrombosis is not yet revealed fully.
1. What percentage of your IgE allergy testing panel consists of molecular allergens rather than allergen extracts? The ALEX2 IgE allergen panel consists of 117 extracts and 183 molecular allergens. This represents the largest panel of molecular allergens on the market, including 50 unique...
Cases of food and environmental allergies have been increasing over the last decade. While conservative estimates suggest IgE-mediated allergy affects 6-8% of children and 2-3% of adults, some estimates are as high as 30%.3, 2 Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include itching, hives,...
Food sensitivity or food intolerance involves a non-allergic response to a food or food additive. In a recent on-line survey conducted in the U.S., 24% of adults aged 18 to 79 reported a food intolerance. While a food allergy is typically mediated by IgE antibodies, adverse reactions to food...
The ALPCO Glucagon ELISA is for the quantitative determination of glucagon in human EDTA plasma. This assay was developed for ease-of-use and demonstrates superior sensitivity while eliminating cross-reactivity issues present in other commercially-available assays.
ALPCO’s automated turbidimetric solution for calprotectin testing offers enhanced efficiency without compromising clinical sensitivity or specificity. Clinicians can prioritize endoscopic evaluation for the patients that need it most and quickly put IBS patients on the right treatment path.
Join our speaker from Department of Pathology , University of Utah School of Medicine, Dr. Heather Nelson, to discuss how to validate and launch a FDA-approved assay.
