The detection of antinuclear antibodies by laboratory methods include immunofluorescence, LE cell test and agglutination of coated particles. The antibodies that are believed to be most characteristic of SLE are those that are directed against deoxyribonucleoprotein (DNP). These antibodies are believed to cause the formation of the LE cell in vitro, with this unusual event occurring in 75-80 % of those patients diagnosed as having SLE. It is not necessary to have a positive LE cell test for the diagnosis of SLE as this test had been found negative in certain individuals having symptoms suggestive for SLE. In these individuals, antinuclear antibodies may be demonstrated by methods other than the LE cell test. The principle of the PULSE SLE TEST is based on the agglutination reaction between latex particles coated with DNP being brought into contact with a serum which contains antinuclear antibodies. An agglutination indicates a positive reaction. The reaction time for this occurrence is within one minute. |
