D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase IgG Ab [Presence] in Serum by Line blot

3-PGDH IgG Ser Ql Line blot

Definition

The qualitative result for the detection of IgG antibodies to D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PGDH) antigens in serum or plasma for the diagnosis of autoimmune liver diseases, including autoimmune hepatitis and primary biliary cirrhosis. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the submitter's test strip, a membrane strip pre-coated with a specific set of antigens in parallel lines. If antibodies to any of those antigens are present in the patient's serum, they will bind to the specific antigen. The bound patient antibodies are then detected using labelled anti-human antibodies. Various manufacturers classify this method as an immunoblot technique. LOINC uses the immunoblot (IB) method to mean that some electrophoretic/chromatographic separation occurs such that position (size) of the band is part of the assessment (as in Western blot).
