[ELISA in the determination of antiphosphatidylserine antibodies].
Antiphospholipid antibodies (APA) are a group of antibodies against various phospholipid antigens. In order to extend the spectrum of examined specificities of antiphospholipid antibodies the authors elaborated an ELISA method for assessment of antiphosphatidyl serine antibodies (APSA). As antigen they used phosphatidyl serine isolated from the white matter of cattle brain. The ELISA method was tested by examining APSA in 12 patients with rheumatic diseases, 24 women with reproductive disorders and 50 patients with testicular tumours and the results were compared with examinations of anticardiolipin antibodies. The concurrent presence of both types of antibodies was recorded in 20.8% women with reproductive disorders and in 14% of the patients with testicular tumours. In these groups antiphosphatidyl serine antibodies were found more frequently.
