Interpretation
A positive result for anti-gp210 antibodies in the setting of chronic cholestasis after exclusion of other causes of liver disease is highly suggestive of primary biliary cholangitis.
Method Description
This test is intended for the semi-quantitative detection of anti-gp210 antibody of the IgG class in human serum. A purified peptide corresponding to a portion of the gp210 protein is bound to the wells of a polystyrene microwell plate. Pre-diluted controls and diluted patient sera are added to separate wells, allowing any gp210 antibodies present to bind to the immobilized antigen. Unbound sample is washed away, and an enzyme labeled anti-human IgG conjugate is added to each well. A second incubation allows the enzyme labeled anti-human IgG to bind to any patient antibodies, which have become attached to the microwells. After washing away any unbound enzyme labeled anti-human IgG, the remaining enzyme activity is measured by adding a chromogenic substrate and measuring the intensity of the color that develops. The assay can be evaluated spectrophotometrically by measuring and comparing the color intensity that develops in the patient wells with the control in the control wells.(Package insert: QUANTA Lite gp210 ELISA 708995.
