METHODS:We studied 68 patients with RPL and 60 healthy controls from September 2005 to May 2012. All subjects were tested for ANA by immunofluorescence testing, and a titer of 1: 80 and above was considered positive. We compared the pregnancy outcome between the ANA positive and ANA negative ...
Antinuclear antibody indirect immunofluorescence (ANA IF) positive using cytobead ANA with a homogenous pattern and cytoplasmic speckled titer 1/80. Confirmation beads showed positive of dsDNA only. ANA profile showed positive antinucleosome, antihistone, and AMA-M2, and also increased anti...
A positive ANA test is reported as a titer, indicating the concentration of antibodies in the blood, expressed as a ratio (for example, 1:40, 1:80, 1:160). Generally, a titer of 1:40 or higher is considered positive, but the exact cutoff to call a test positive may vary among labo...
First, we have analyzed agreement (kappa index) between qualitative (positive or negative) results obtained with both assays using various cut-off. Then, IFA-ANA titers were considered. Box plots show that when IFA titer increases, COBAS-ANA value does Discussion We evaluated -precision, response...
immunoblotting.Results There were 728,200 and 80 cases positive in ANA,ENA and dsDNA,respectively.There were 199 and 79 cases positive in ENA and dsDNA,respectively,of 728 positive in ANA.Conclusions There were significant differences in the sensitivity of ANA,ENA and dsDNA in autoimmune disease...

(1) detection of morulae within neutrophils combined with a single positive reciprocal antibody titer toA. phagocytophilumof at least 80; (2) a fourfold increase or decrease in the antibodytiter within 4 weeks; (3) a positive PCR test result using specificA. phagocytophilumprimers...
HBcAb and HBeAg.The positive rate of ANA was compared in HBV activity group with non-active group,and compared the positive rate of such HBV inspective items in ANA positive group with the ANA negative group,conducted the correlation analysis of ANA andHBV inspective items,then compare the ANA...
When the IgG antibody titer cut-off was set at 1:80 or higher, up to 92% were positive 4 weeks after the onset of symptoms, which lasted for 3 months. Even when the antibody titer cut-off values were set at 1:256 for IgM or 1:320 for IgG, they were positive for 3 months after...
Herein is disclosed synthetic oligonucleotides comprising 2′F-ANA nucleosides that can be utilized to control plant-chewing and phloem-feeding insects, bacteria present in such inse
