lupus cell assay

The lupus erythematosus factor in the blood of patients with lupus erythematosus is an anti-nuclear protein immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody that acts on the cell membrane to damage it and swell the cell nucleus to form a uniform, unstructured circular smog. A substance (homogeneous body) that forms a lupus erythematosus cell after being phagocytosed by mature polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The presence or absence of neutral polymorphonuclear leukocytes phagocytosis in the blood can be used to diagnose lupus erythematosus.
