Abstract
⺠We tested aCL by a new automated system using the chemiluminescence principle. ⺠Almost all sera from APS patients were also positive for IgG aCl by chemiluminescence. ⺠Only 22/73 aCL + sera of patients without APS were confirmed by chemiluminescence. ⺠We identified 20% of patients positive for LA, negative for both aCL and anti-β2-GPI. ⺠Chemiluminescence assay may represent an useful tool to identify “true” APS patients.
