HLA-B27

EUROArray HLA-B27 – Direct Molecular genetic microarray test system

When combined with clinical data, daily practice is widely used in treating rheumatism, helping to diagnose ankylosing spondiloartritą (Bechterew 's disease), reactive arthritis and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, rarely - oftalmogijoje when suspected anterior uveitis. It is recommended to carry out if the patient complains of acute or chronic pain in the neck, chest, waist, limb joints or areas of eye pain and implied autoimmune disease.

• Easy test performance due to prefabricated PCR components and known incubation technique
• Simple protocol – expert knowledge in molecular biology is not required
• Fully automated unbiased evaluation and diagnosis using EUROArrayScan
• Highest sensitivity: all known HLA-B27 alleles are detected
• Improved specifi city: non-disease-associated HLA-B27 alleles are detected
• Many integrated control mechanisms document correct test performance
• Test system, scanner and software are validated in accordance with IVD guidelines
• In contrast to cytotoxicity tests, blood samples can be collected and processed together, e.g. once per week; the test performance can be interrupted at different steps and resumed the next working day.
