Variability in exposure of epitope G40-R43 of domain i in commercial anti-beta2-glycoprotein I IgG ELISAs.

BACKGROUND: A major problem for diagnosing the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is the high variability between commercial anti-β2glycoprotein I (β2GPI) assays. Predominantly antibodies reactive against cryptic epitope Glycine40-Arginine43 (G40-R43) in domain I are associated with an increased risk f...
