Indications for Use
AESKULISA ANA-Hep2 is a solid phase enzyme immunoassay for the combined qualitative detection of IgG antibodies against Hep2 cells in human serum. Each well is coated with lysed Hep2 cells and specific antigens. The test collectively detects, in one well, total ANAs against double stranded DNA (dsDNA), histones, SS-A (Ro), SS-B (La), Sm, snRNP/Sm, Scl-70, Jo-1 and centromeric antigens along with sera positive for Hep2 immunofluorescence test (IFT). The assay is a tool in the diagnosis of certain systemic rheumatic diseases and should be used in conjunction with other serological tests and clinical findings.
Device Story
AESKULISA ANA-Hep2 is a qualitative ELISA test for detecting IgG antibodies against Hep2 cells and specific nuclear antigens (dsDNA, histones, SS-A, SS-B, Sm, snRNP/Sm, Scl-70, Jo-1, centromeric) in human serum. The device uses microtiter plates coated with lysed Hep2 cells and antigens. Patient serum is incubated in the wells; if ANA antibodies are present, they bind to the antigens. After washing, anti-human IgG HRP conjugate is added, followed by TMB substrate. The resulting enzymatic colorimetric reaction (blue to yellow after acid stop) is measured at 450 nm using a microtiter plate reader. The optical density (OD) is proportional to the antibody concentration. The test is performed in a clinical laboratory setting by trained personnel. Results assist clinicians in diagnosing systemic rheumatic diseases when combined with other clinical and serological data.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials were performed. Substantial equivalence was established via analytical performance testing and a method comparison study. Method comparison with the predicate device (n=59) showed 100% agreement (57 positive, 2 negative). Analytical specificity was demonstrated using 57 characterized patient sera (all positive) and 91 negative control sera (11 positive for other antigens, 80 healthy donors). Precision (intra-assay and inter-assay) showed %CVs ranging from 1.5% to 3.1%. Linearity/recovery was confirmed via serial dilutions.
Technological Characteristics
Solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Wells coated with lysed HEp-2 cells and specific nuclear antigens. Qualitative detection of IgG antibodies. Manual or automated plate processing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative detection of IgG antibodies against Hep2 cells in human serum to aid in the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases. Intended for use in conjunction with other serological tests and clinical findings. Prescription use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).

None referenced
L. Test Principle:
Serum samples diluted 1:101 are incubated in the microplates coated with the ANA antigens. ANA antibodies, if present in the patient specimen, bind to the antigens forming antigen/antibody complexes. The unbound fraction is washed off. The anti-human IgG HRP conjugate is added and reacts with the antigen/antibody complexes in the microplates. Unbound conjugate is washed off in the following step. Addition of TMB substrate generates an enzymatic colorimetric (blue) reaction, which is stopped by diluted acid (color changes to yellow). The rate of color formation is a function of the amount of conjugate bound to the antigen/antibody complexes and is proportional to the initial concentration of the antibodies in the patient samples. The color formation is determined by measuring the OD value at 450 nm.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable)
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Intra-assay
To determine intra-assay variation, 3 different sera (low, medium, high) were tested 24 times on 3 microtiter plates. The results are as follows:
| Sample No. | Overall Mean OD Ratio | Overall Mean %CV |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Low | 4.6 | 1.5 |
| Med | 2.8 | 2.0 |
| High | 1.4 | 1.8 |
Inter-assay
Inter-assay precision (%CV) was determined by running 3 different sera (low, medium and high) 18 times on three different microtiter plates for five days. The results are as follows:
| Sample No. | Overall Mean OD Ratio | Overall Mean %CV |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Low | 4.7 | 3.1 |
| Med | 3.0 | 2.5 |
| High | 1.2 | 2.4 |
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
A dilution/recovery study was performed using two fold serial dilutions of two positive samples. The results of this study are as follows:
| Sample No. | Dilution Factor | Measured conc (OD ratio) | Expected Conc (OD ratio) | % Recovery |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 1/100 | 4.10 | 4.20 | 97.6 |
| | 1/200 | 2.10 | 2.10 | 100 |

| | 1/400 | 1.59 | 1.55 | 102.6 |
| | 1/800 | 0.79 | 0.78 | 102.0 |
c. Traceability (controls, calibrators, or method):
Positive controls are the CDC-ANA reference human sera or WHO standards for the respective antigen.
d. Detection limit:
Not applicable
e. Analytical specificity:
To demonstrate assay specificity, 57 characterized patient sera from various autoimmune diseases (SLE, MCTD, CREST and Sjogren syndrome) obtained from major hospitals which were positive on IFA Hep2 ANA were all found positive in the AESKULISA ANA-Hep2.
| disease | # of tested sera |
| --- | --- |
| SLE | 39 |
| MCTD | 3 |
| CREST | 4 |
| Sjogrens Syndrome | 4 |
| Various AI diseases | 7 |
In addition, 11 sera positive for the following antigens: tissue transglutaminase (3), Proteinase (3), thyroglobulin (2), gliadin (2) and thyroid peroxidase (2) and 80 sera from a control group were tested and found negative on the AESKULISA ANA Hep-2. The healthy donors consisted of 54% female and 46% male. Forty-one percent of the cohort was young adults (n=33), 53% middle aged (n=42) and 6% (n=5) elderly.
f. Assay cut-off:
To determine the cut-off value, serial dilutions (1:3) of an antibody specific patient serum are tested in triplicates. The OD at 450nm is determined and plotted against the dilution factor to determine a linear range. The dilution in the linear range with an OD of approximately 2.0 is defined as calibrator F and is assigned 300 U/mL. Calibrator F is diluted to a concentration of 15 U/mL and calibrated to the respective CDC ANA reference serum. The selected cut-off is equivalent to an OD of 0.5 to 0.6 of that of the reference serum. To validate the cut-off, samples from the control group used in the specificity study were tested. The cut-off value is an OD ratio of 1.0
