Improvement of indirect immunofluorescence technique to detect antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies and its impact on test positivity rate

The indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) technique for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) detection is subject to substantial differences across laboratories. This study aimed to assess the impact of improvements in the IIF-ANCA technique on the positivity rate of ANCA tests. A cross-sectiona...
