Evaluation of Anti-Nuclear antibody test results in clinical practice
Objective: Aim of this study is to evaluate anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) test results obtained between 2009 and 2011. Methods: Of a totally 5068 cases tested for ANA by indirect immunofluorescence method (IIFA), randomly chosen 982 ANA-positive cases ...

A comparison of anti-nuclear antibody quantification using automated enzyme immunoassays and immunofluorescence assays. [PDF]
Anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) have traditionally been evaluated using indirect fluorescence assays (IFA) with HEp-2 cells. Quantitative immunoassays (EIA) have replaced the use of HEp-2 cells in some laboratories.

Anti-nuclear antibodies: A practical approach to testing and interpretation
Anti-nuclear antibodies (ANAs) are a group of antibodies that are characteristically associated with connective tissue diseases (CTDs). Indirect immunofluorescence antibody technique, having a high sensitivity, is the most common technique used for detection, results of which are expressed in terms of the pattern of fluorescence, substrate used, and ...

Relationship between autoimmune thyroid antibodies and anti-nuclear antibodies in general patients [PDF]
BackgroundThere is no doubt that both Hashimoto thyroiditis and Graves’ disease are autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs), but the relationship between anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) and AITDs is poorly studied. The association between thyroid autoantibody levels and ANA positivity was evaluated to assess the role of ANA in AITDs.MethodsWe conducted an ...
