PF4 ELISA-IgG Test
BloodCenter of Wisconsin Diagnostic Laboratories
BloodCenter’s new PF4 ELISA-IgG test, the latest addition to its suite of assays used to detect HIT, replaces the PF4 ELISA-IgGAM assay. The PF4 ELISA-IgG provides greater specificity for detecting clinically significant HIT antibodies, with the same degree of sensitivity as the previous test. A “strong positive” result in the new PF4 ELISA-IgG correlates with the clinical likelihood of HIT. BloodCenter staff will use the PF4 ELISA-IgG assay as the first-line test on all samples submitted for heparin-dependent platelet antibody-PF4 testing.
