Anti-Ribosomal P (IgG) ELISA is a solid phase enzyme immunoassay employing native human ribosomal P-proteins P0, P1 and P2 isolated from eukaryotic cell line for the quantitative and qualitative detection of antibodies against ribosomal P-proteins (rib-P) in human serum. The specificity of anti-rib-P antibodies is restricted to a common antigenic determinant located on the highly conserved carboxyl-terminal portion of the three P proteins. The assay is a tool for researching diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Research Use Only. Not for Use in Diagnostic Procedures.

The ribosomal phosphoproteins P0 (~38 kDa), P1 (~ 19 kDa) and P2 (~17 kDa) are located within the 60S subunit of human ribosomes. In contrast to the majority of basic ribosomal proteins, P1 and P2 are acidic. The ribosomal proteins are associated to a pentamer with two P1/P2 heterodimers anchored to P0 by the amino terminal portion of P2. This pentamer is located in a highly accessible region on the stalk of the ribosome. Biochemical studies suggest that P1/P2 play a fundamental role in all three phases of ribosomal polypeptide synthesis (initiation, translocation, termination).
Research indicates that autoantibodies to ribosomal proteins are highly specific for SLE since they are not found in other autoimmune diseases or in infections. The frequency of anti-rib-P antibodies is 10-20% in randomly selected SLE subjects. Anti-rib-P antibodies are detected more frequently in lupus subjects with severe psychiatric manifestations. In addition, studies suggest that other organ involvement including renal and hepatic disease might be correlated with the presence of anti-rib-P.
1. What percentage of your IgE allergy testing panel consists of molecular allergens rather than allergen extracts? The ALEX2 IgE allergen panel consists of 117 extracts and 183 molecular allergens. This represents the largest panel of molecular allergens on the market, including 50 unique...
Cases of food and environmental allergies have been increasing over the last decade. While conservative estimates suggest IgE-mediated allergy affects 6-8% of children and 2-3% of adults, some estimates are as high as 30%.3, 2 Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include itching, hives,...
Food sensitivity or food intolerance involves a non-allergic response to a food or food additive. In a recent on-line survey conducted in the U.S., 24% of adults aged 18 to 79 reported a food intolerance. While a food allergy is typically mediated by IgE antibodies, adverse reactions to food...
