In 1979 Immuno Concepts pioneered the conversion from rodent tissue to HEp-2 cells for detection of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANAs). Using genetic engineering they developed HEp-2000, an ANA substrate with increased sensitivity for detection of autoantibodies to SS-A/Ro. The advantages of the HEp-2000 substrate over conventional HEp-2 have been documented in several published papers from well-known institutions and are discussed later in this catalog. Immuno Concepts was the first company to offer a non-fluorescent ANA. Our Colorzyme methodology uses a patented stabilized color reagent system that allows slide-based assays to be read using common bright field microscopy. The Colorzyme format is available for ANA, nDNA and EBV assays.
