Description
The BÜHLMANN anti-SGPG Autoantibodies ELISA is intended for the semi-quantitative determination of human IgM-auto-antibodies directed against sulfate-3-glucuronyl paragloboside [SGPG] and sulfate-3-glucuronyllactosaminyl-paragloboside [SGLPG]. The Anti-SGPG Autoantibodies ELISA from BÜHLMANN is a semi-quantitative assay in which results are compared with a calibrator. In general, antibodies recognizing MAG react with a carbohydrate determinant that is also present on an acidic lipid, sulfoglucuronyl paragloboside. Anti-SGPG antibodies have a wider spectrum than anti-MAG antibodies do – some samples which are anti-SGPG positive are negative for anti-MAG antibodies. Therefore, samples should be tested for both antibodies
