Antinuclear antibodies detection: A comparative study between automated recognition and conventional visual interpretation

摘要

The indirect immunofluorescence assay ( ) for the detection of antinuclear antibodies ( ) was firstly described in 1958 and is still considered the reference method for screening. Currently, an automated processing and recognition system for standardized and efficient interpretation by human epithelial (HEp‐2) cell‐based immunofluorescence ( ; attern Suite, Euroimmun) is available in China.
