(ANA titers of less than or equal to 1:40 are considered negative.) Even higher titers are often insignificant in patients over 60 years of age. The normal range for antinuclear antibodies can vary slightly depending on the laboratory and the methods used, but typically, a titer of 1:40 ...
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 ...
(Lawrenceet al., 1990). It is not known whether this elevated JH titer is a consequence of increased JH production by the host or whether it represents JH that was released from the parasite or its serosa (extraembryonic membrane). Interestingly, the high JH titer in pharate pupal hosts ...
A. phagocytophilumappears to be predominantly an acute disease, although persistent infection has been documented experimentally. The clinical findings are similar toE. ewingiiand include fever, lameness, joint swelling, and CNS signs, in addition to the less specific findings of anorexi...
wherein each of m, x and y are each independently an integer greater than or equal to 1, n is an integer greater than or equal to 2, A is a sugar-modified nucleotide and D is a 2′-deoxyribonucleotide. For example, a F-ASO disclosed herein has structure I wherein x=1, y=1 an...
collect sera for anti-AnAPN1 antibody titer determination via ELISA. Mice were sacrificed 4 weeks after the final boost and serum was collected via cardiac puncture. A single replicate study was completed with 10 mice immunized with the same UF6b:GLA-LSQ formulation in the same manner and ...

The importance of the autoantibody titer (level) is recognized by guidelines and recommendations [1, 3, 11, 12]. Recent studies showed that the likelihood for AARD increases with increasing ANA IIF fluorescence intensity [13,14,15]. However, important variation in the detection and titration of...
