ASCA IgG/IgA ELISA

ASCA IgG/IgA ELISA is a test system for the quantitative measurement of IgG and IgA class antiSaccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) in human serum or plasma. Accurate diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in particular the differentiation between the ulcerative colitis and Crohn s disease, is important for treatment and prognosis. ASCA are strongly associated to Crohn s disease. IgG as well as IgA ASCA show a high specificity for Crohn s disease, and support the differential dignosis of IBD, when combined with other serological markers and clinical tests.
