Table 2 Anti-phospholipid antibody (aPL) positives by line immunoassay (LIA) and consensus criteria enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 95 subjects including 34 patients with anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS), 41 with systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease (SARD), and 20 healthy subjects (children) (HS) as control groups

From: Anti-phospholipid IgG antibodies detected by line immunoassay differentiate patients with anti-phospholipid syndrome and other autoimmune diseases
