CLIA ENA Screen plus

Chemiluminescence kit for the detection of IgG antibodies to extractable nuclear antigens and centromere B
in human serum or plasma.

ENA Screen is a serology test to detect IgG autoantibodies against extractable nuclear antigens (ENAs), which is a subgroup of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) which do not readt with chromatin. ENA screen is usually used following a positive result in an antinuclear antibody (ANA) test.

ENAs are mainly recognized by sera from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), systemic sclerosis, myositis, Sjögren's, scleroderma, polymyositis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Classical autoantigens detectable in sera from SLE patients are Smith-Protein (Sm), ribonucleoproteins (RNP), Robert-Antigen/Sjögren's A (Ro/SSA), and Lane-Antigen/Sjögren's B (La/SSB); they are usually completed with Scl-70 and Jo-1 antigens. The use of the centromere B antigen is an extension of the standard antigen set.
