Anti β2GP1 IgM S Kit

Antiphospholipid antibodies are associated with diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and more specifically in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). This anti ß2GP1 EIA kit is designed for the detection and accurate quantitation of IgM class autoantibodies against ß2GP1 in human serum samples.

Antigen

The microwells are precoated with purified ß2GP1.

Calibration

The assays are calibrated against the Sapporo HCAL monoclonal standard1.

The Standardization Committee of the European Forum for Antiphospholipid Antibodies have supported the introduction of the Sapporo HCAL and EY2C9 IgG and IgM reference preparations. These standards are monoclonal antibodies that have dual functionality for both cardiolipin and β2GP-1 (results expressed in μg/mL). The monoclonal nature of these standard preparations ensures reproducibility1-3.

A 5 point calibration curve is generated.
