| description | This panel contains quantitative and ordinal results for the detection of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) levels in serum by immunofluorescence methods. ANCAs are a group of auto-antibodies directed against antigens in the cytoplasm of neutrophil granulocytes and monocytes. They are associated with a number of autoimmune disorders, including systemic vasculitis. This test may be performed to monitor therapy with mycophenolate mofetil (trade names: CellCept, Myfortic), an immunosuppressive agent used in organ transplantation. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| method | IF = Immune Fluorescence: Encompasses DFA, IFA, FA. Usually applies to cells and smears examined microscopically so that both the “where” and the “what” can be assessed, but can also be used on fluids in a way similar to ELISA. Does not include Cell binding assays (see CBA IFA above). | ||||||||||||||||||||||
