The Return of IFA
2015 AACC Annual Meeting Press Program

Background Immunofluorescence Assays (IFA) used for screening of autoimmune diseases have a number of challenges. When performed manually, IFA is laborious, subjective and poorly standardized. With the advent of multiplex technologies in early-2000, the autoimmune community thought it had found a solution, until it became evident that multiplex technologies had limitations, which made them poor candidates for antinuclear antibody screening (ANA). Today, there are 30 to 50 clinically significant autoantibodies outside of the HEp-2 cell, which currently have no method for screening.1
