AMA ELISA kits are assays designed to measure levels of AMA antibodies in biological samples, such as plasma, serum, culture extracts, and cell lysates. Anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA) is a type of autoantibody reactive against mitochondria, primarily in the liver tissue. Several AMA subtypes have been identified that react with distinct mitochondrial antigens. The AMA-M2 subtype recognizes the a-keto acid dehydrogenase complex of the inner mitochondrial membrane and is used as a diagnostic biomarker for primary biliary cirrhosis. AMA may also refer to anti-myelin antibodies, which are associated with certain inflammatory diseases of the nervous system, such as Garin-Bujadoux-Bannwarth (GBB) and multiple sclerosis (MS).
