Useful For

Evaluating patients with clinical features of ANCA-associated vasculitis, specifically granulomatosus with polyangiitis, microscopic polyangiitis, and eosinophilic granulomatosus with polyangiitis


Additional Testing Requirements


When used for diagnosis, it is recommended that specific tests for proteinase 3 antibodies and myeloperoxidase antibodies be performed first, with additional testing for anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies only needed in certain circumstances.(3) A testing algorithm based on these recommendations is available. For more information see VASC / Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies Vasculitis Panel, Serum.

Method Name

Indirect Immunofluorescence (IIF)

Method Description

Antibodies to cytoplasmic antigens in neutrophils are detected by an indirect immunofluorescent technique. Commercial and in-house slides prepared from human neutrophils are used as a substrate. IgG antibodies in serum specimens are detected after incubation of serum with the commercial and in-house slides by the addition of a fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled antihuman IgG reagent. All patient specimens are initially screened at 1:4 and 1:8 dilutions.(Unpublished Mayo Method)
