Subsets of the ANA blood tests are sometimes used to determine the specific autoimmune disease. For this purpose, a doctor may order anti-dsDNA, anti-Sm, Sjogren's syndrome antigens (SSA, SSB), Scl-70 antibodies, anti-centromere, anti-histone, and anti-RNP.1 How Lupus Is Diagnosed A Wor...

All of the major SLE protein antigens—histone, Sm antigen, Ro/SSA, and La/SSB—were biotinylated (see Supplementary Figure 1, available on the Arthritis & Rheumatology web site at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/art.39710/abstract). DNA was also biotinylated or present bound to...

Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) were analysed by indirect immunofluorescence (IFL) on HEp-2 cells (Immunoconcepts, Sacramento, CA, USA). Antibodies to specific nuclear antigens (dsDNA, SSA-Ro52, SSA-Ro60, SSB, Sm) and phospholipids (cardiolipin IgG, IgM, IgA and β2-glycoprotein1 IgG, IgM, ...

The surface concentration of SI-polyP was 300 nmol/m2, and could be decreased to 60 nmol/m2 by diluting with biotin-PEG. To test the ability of patterned polyP to induce clotting, platelet-poor human plasma was flowed through the chambers. Based on the simulation data, we tested the ...
