Anti Sulfate-3-Glucuronyl Paragloboside (SGPG) autoantibody ELISA for serum BÜHLMANN 96 well plate

Product code: EK-SGPG

Pack Size: 96 Wells
CE Verified: CE IVD

Product Information

Anti-SGPG (sulfate-3-glucuronyl para-globoside) antibodies have a wider spectrum than anti-MAG antibodies - some patients which are anti-SGPG positive are negative for anti-MAG antibodies. Therefore, patients should be tested for both antibodies.

In general, antibodies recognizing MAG react with a carbohydrate determinant that is also present on an acidic lipid, sulfoglucuronyl paragloboside. In addition to the anti-MAG ELISA, the anti-SGPG ELISA enhances the chance to detect all neuropathies.
The anti-SGPG ELISA from BÜHLMANN is a semi-quantitative assay for determination of human IgM autoantibodies directed against sulfate-3-glucuronyl paragloboside (SGPG) and sulfate-3-glucuronyl-lactosaminylparagloboside (SGLPG). Interestingly, typical sensory demyelinating neuropathies have anti-MAG and anti-SGPG activities, whereas axonal neuropathies present only monoclonal IgM anti-SGPG activity. In humans, there seems to be a relationship between the titre of anti-MAG antibodies and the degree of demyelination.
The presence of anti-MAG/anti-SGPG antibodies is characteristic of a demyelinating neuropathy, whereas the presence of anti-SGPG antibodies alone seems to be more present in axonal non-demyelinating neuropathy, often of predominantly motor-type. Here again, the fine structure of the epitope recognized by the IgM may be involved. This is not an absolute relationship.

Product Details:
Specimen Type: Serum. Lipemic, hemolytic and icteric samples should not be used in this assay. Lipemic samples can be avoided by asking patients to fast for at least 12 hours prior to the sample being taken. Store serum samples at -20°C. Samples are stable for 1 year if stored at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Frozen samples should be thawed and mixed thoroughly by gentle swirling or inversion prior to use
