Test Details
The Anti Nuclear Antibody / Factor (ANA / ANF) IFA (HEP-2) End Point Titre Test is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of antibodies against components of the cell nucleus in a patient’s blood. It is primarily used to diagnose autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjgren’s syndrome.
The test involves exposing a patient’s blood sample to a specific type of human cell line called HEP-2 cells, which have a high concentration of nuclear antigens. If the patient has antibodies against these nuclear antigens, they will bind to the HEP-2 cells. The cells are then stained with a fluorescent dye, and a microscope is used to examine the cells for the presence of fluorescent patterns.
The end point titre refers to the highest dilution of the patient’s blood sample that still shows a positive reaction. A higher titre indicates a higher concentration of antibodies in the blood, which may be indicative of a more severe autoimmune disease.
It is important to note that a positive ANA test does not necessarily mean that a person has an autoimmune disease. Further testing and evaluation by a healthcare professional are usually required to confirm a diagnosis.
