Standardized Indirect Immunofluorescence Assay

Serum samples were evaluated by indirect immunofluorescence at a 1:80 dilution using the NOVA Lite HEp-2 ANA slide with DAPI kit (INOVA Diagnostics, San Diego, CA, USA) and a highly specific fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugated secondary antibody (goat anti-human IgG). Images captured via the NOVA View automated fluorescence microscope system (INOVA Diagnostics) were stored digitally. Immunofluorescence staining intensities were assigned integer grades from 0 to 4, relative to standard references, with nonzero grades indicating ANA positivity (Dinse et al. 2020 (link)). All samples were assayed in a single laboratory, using identical methods. At least two experienced evaluators made independent readings, blinded to participant characteristics and time period, and they agreed on over 95% of the grades; differences were resolved by consensus or adjudicated by a third blinded rater. Repeat testing of 200 random samples showed over 98% concordance.

ANA Immunofluorescence Staining Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Serum samples were shipped with dry ice and stored at −80°C until evaluated by indirect immunofluorescence at a 1:80 dilution using the NOVA Lite HEp-2 ANA slide with DAPI kit (INOVA Diagnostics), with a highly specific fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated secondary antibody (goat anti-human IgG). Images were captured using the NOVA View automated fluorescence microscope system (INOVA Diagnostics) and stored digitally. Immunofluorescence staining intensities were graded using a 0-4 scale compared to standard references (8 (link)). Participants who had grades of 1-4 were positive for ANA; those with grades of 3 or 4 were further assessed by sequential ANA titers up to 1:1280 dilution. ANA patterns, including nuclear, cytoplasmic, or mitotic, were defined according to international consensus (15 (link)). All serum samples were assayed using the same methods in a single laboratory. Readings were made independently by at least 2 experienced evaluators (who were blinded with regard to sample characteristics and time period), who agreed on >95% of the intensities and patterns; differences were resolved by consensus or adjudicated by a third blinded rater (EKLC) who was also blinded with regard to sample characteristics. Repeat testing of random samples showed >98% concordance.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
