Immuno Concepts – ANCA-L Newsletter

Immuno Concepts: ANCA-L Newsletter – The international testing consensus, assay differences, and sample interpretation support.

This newsletter provides an in-depth overview of the diagnostic systems produced by Immuno Concepts for the detection and differentiation of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), which are crucial in diagnosing autoimmune vasculitis. It details various assay systems, including ethanol-fixed and formalin-fixed slides, and ELISA tests for anti-MPO and anti-PR3 antibodies.

Immuno Concepts – Technical Bulletin 2024 Q4

Immuno Concepts are leaders in the development of state-of-the-art diagnostic assays for systemic rheumatic diseases.

Immuno Concepts not only pioneered the conversion from rodent tissue to HEp-2 cells for the detection of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANAs) but also overcame one of the main pitfalls of ANA detection with the introduction of HEp-2000^®, a patented ANA substrate genetically improved with increased sensitivity for detection of autoantibodies to SS-A/Ro.¹

New arrival to MILLIPLEX: The Human Interferon Panel, HIFN-130K.

Products are for professional/laboratory use only.

Interferons (IFNs) are the first line of defence against viral infections and have important roles in immunosurveillance for malignant cells. IFNs are classified as type I ( IFNε, IFNα2, IFNβ, IFNω), II (IFNɣ), and III (IFNλ1, λ2, λ3), based on the target receptors to which they bind.
