Description: The human anti-IFN-alpha ELISA is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative detection of human anti-IFN-alpha. The human anti-IFN-alpha ELISA is for research use only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
It is a common concept that the development of antibodies against any autoantigen or drug is always undesirable. Such antibodies are crucial for the pathology of autoimmune diseases and inhibit the pharmacological effects of drugs including exogenously administered cytokines.
Antibodies to IFN-alpha were detected in patients with various autoimmune disorders and in the serum of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Spontaneous antibodies to IFN-alpha were shown to occur in sera of various cancer patients. Neutralizing IFN-alpha antibodies were also found in cerebrospinal fluids and sera of acute aseptic meningitis patients as well as in patients with chronic polyarthritis.
