Indications for Use
The Wielisa PR-3 ANCA Test Kit is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection and semi-quantitation of antibodies to Proteinase-3 (PR-3) in human sera. The assay is used to detect antibodies in a single serum specimen. The results of the assay are to be used as an aid to the diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis.
Device Story
Wielisa PR-3 ANCA Test Kit is an ELISA for detecting IgG antibodies to Proteinase-3 in human serum. Microtiter wells are coated with purified PR-3 antigen. Patient serum is incubated; specific antibodies bind to the antigen. After washing, alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-human IgG conjugate is added. Following a second wash, substrate solution is added; color intensity, measured as optical density (OD), correlates to antibody concentration. Results are calculated against a calibrator curve and expressed in arbitrary units. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel to aid in diagnosing Wegener's granulomatosis. Output provides semi-quantitative antibody levels, assisting clinicians in evaluating patients suspected of having this condition.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing and retrospective clinical evaluation. Study of 364 sera showed 92.9% sensitivity for Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) and 50.0% for microscopic polyangiitis (MP). Specificity: 100% for healthy normals and RA, 97.4% for SLE, 93.6% for anti-GBM nephritis. Comparison with C-ANCA IFA (n=245) showed 96.3% relative sensitivity and 91.9% relative specificity. Comparison with alternate ELISA (n=120) showed 100% relative sensitivity and 97.5% relative specificity. Precision and linearity data provided.
Technological Characteristics
ELISA-based immunoassay. Components: microtiter strips coated with purified proteinase 3, alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-human IgG conjugate, substrate solution. Detection via optical density measurement. Semi-quantitative output in arbitrary units. Manual or automated plate reader required.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the detection and semi-quantitation of IgG antibodies to Proteinase-3 (PR-3) in human serum specimens to aid in the diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A multiple autoantibodies immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of multiple autoantibodies aids in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders (disease produced when the body's own tissues are injured by autoantibodies).
