?:definition
  • Immunoassay reagents intended to perform qualitative and/or quantitative analyses on a body fluid sample (e.g., serum) to determine antibodies against small, sphere-shaped components found in the cytoplasm of cells (i.e., mitochondria); they are generically known as antimitochondrial antibodies (AMAs). Reagents for determination of AMAs in serum are used in the diagnostics of primary biliary cirrhosis, an organ-specific, cholestatic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic progressive destruction of bile ducts, portal inflammation, and, ultimately, fibrosis. This disease predominantly affects women.
