What is the ANCA -MPOP-ANCA (ELISA)? 

When MPO-ANCA is used, it is common to see staining around the cell nucleus (perinuclear pattern). In the case of immunofluorescence testing, either a positive or a negative outcome is produced.

Traditionally, patients have been checked for ANCA using immunofluorescence, followed by an ELISA to detect the amount of PR3-ANCA or MPO-ANCA present in their system.
