ANA / ENA 18 Antigens (Qualitative) Profile Blot / LIA
The ANA / ENA 18 Antigens (Qualitative) Profile Blot / LIA helps screen autoantibodies in the blood of an individual. These antibodies react with proteins present inside the nucleus of the cell and cause autoimmune disorders.
The ANA / ENA 18 Antigens (Qualitative) Profile Blot / LIA examines 18 different antigens, helping identify patterns related to autoimmune diseases. This comprehensive test helps in the diagnosis of conditions like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus,Sjogren’s Syndrome, mixed connective tissue disorders or other autoimmune disorders by assessing the immune system’s activity and detecting the specific antibodies that may indicate an autoimmune response.

Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) by IFA - End Point Titer
An Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) by IFA - End Point Titer test checks for antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in your blood. These antibodies, different from typical ones that fight off invaders in the body, can attach to structures inside the body’s own cell nuclei. If ANAs are present in the blood, it may suggest that your immune system is overly sensitive, causing inflammation against your own tissues and possibly indicating autoimmune diseases.
