Anti-Phosphatidic Acid IgG/IgM
Anti-Phosphatidic Acid IgG/IgM is an ELISA test for the quantitative determination of IgG and IgM antibodies against phosphatidic acid in human serum or plasma.
Phosphatidic acid antibodies are almost without exception detected together with cardiolipin and/or phosphatidyl serine antibodies. Their presence is an indicator of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and is helpful in assessing the risk of thrombosis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus-like diseases. In addition to purified phosphatidic acid as antigen, the wells of this test are additionally coated with human beta-2-glycoprotein as cofactor.
