| Description | The anti-Cardiolipin (aCL) IgA ELISA test system is an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of IgA class antibodies to Cardiolipin in human serum or plasma. Measurement of IgG, IgM and IgA cardiolipin autoantibodies (aCL) by EIA is the standard procedure for the detection of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) in patients with suspected antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). High aCL concentrations are associated with increased risk of venous and arterial thrombosis, recurrent pregnancy loss and thrombocytopenia. Patients with the anti-cardiolipin syndrome have one of the above clinical features and have antibodies to cardiolipin and/or a positive lupus anticoagulant test. The antibodies present to cardiolipin may be of the IgG, IgA, IgM isotypes. Testing for the various antibody isotypes to cardiolipin aid in diagnosis of the anti-phospholipid syndrome in patients with SLE or lupus-like disorders. |
