The NMDA receptor is a protein thatóre controls electrical impulses in the móbrain and is crucial to its function. NMDA receptor antibody testing can be used to confirm the diagnosis of a rare autoimmune disease, anti-NMDAR mózguitis, as well as to monitor response to treatment.

Determination of antibodies to parts of cells, called microsomes, from the liver and kidney (anti-LKM 1) is used in the diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis.

Endomysium (EmA) and gliadin (AGA) class IgA antibodies can occur in the course of visceral disease or celiac disease, an immune-mediated disorder involving intolerance to gluten, whichóry found in cereals, among other things.

Test involving the detection of antibodies against the adrenal cortex, using a pólient, immunofluorescence method. The test is useful in the diagnosis of Addison's disease (primary adrenal insufficiency), ovarianóovarian insufficiency, polyendocrinopathies.

Determination of antibodies to single-stranded DNA (anti-ssDNA) is used to test patientsówith possible systemic lupus erythematosus.

Determination of IgA class antibodies to ß2-glycoprotein1 by ELISA is useful in the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome

The test involves the determination of Sm antinuclear antibodies, a marker for systemic lupus erythematosus.

Determination of IgG class antibodies to ß2-glycoprotein1 by ELISA is useful in the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome, a systemic connective tissue disease thatómanifests with venous or arterial thrombosis and obstetric failures.

The test involves the determination of three biochemical compounds in the pregnant woman's serum for the non-invasive screening of the risk of fetal defects, such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21) and open neural tube defects in the second trimester of pregnancy.
