LOINC display name : Sjogrens syndrome-B extractable nuclear Ab Line blot Ql (CSF);
LOINC long common name : Sjogrens syndrome-B extractable nuclear Ab [Presence] in Cerebral spinal fluid by
Line blot;
LOINC short name : ENA SS-B Ab CSF Ql Line blot;
LOINC description : This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the submitter's test strip,
a membrane strip pre-coated with a specific set of antigens in parallel lines. If
antibodies to any of those antigens are present in the patient's serum, they will
bind to the specific antigen. The bound patient antibodies are then detected using
labelled anti-human antibodies. Manufacturers call this method by different names,
including immunoblot, line blot, and line immunoassay. LOINC uses the immunoblot (IB)
method to mean that some electrophoretic/chromatographic separation occurs such that
position (size) of the band is part of the assessment (as in Western blot). Because
this assay does not involve a separation step but rather uses strips with pre-fixed
antigens, the LOINC Method for this term is Line blot.;
