QUANTA Lite^® Histone Reagents

This assay is designed for the detection of anti-histone IgG antibodies in human serum. The presence of these antibodies can aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), drug-induced SLE and related connective tissue diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, dermatomyositis and Sjögren's Syndrome. Determination of the patient's histone antibody status may be useful in the differential diagnosis between SLE and drug induced SLE.
