RF

Rheumatoid factors (RF) are a heterogeneous group of autoantibodies directed against the antigenic determinants on the Fc-region of IgG molecules. They are important in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, but can also be found in other inflammatory-rheumatic diseases and in various non-rheumatic diseases. They are also found in clinically healthy persons over 60 years of age.

Fortress Diagnostics manufactures RF reagents designed for Hitachi 917, Olympus AU 600/400/2700 and CA 180/270/400/2700 Furuno/Daytona system reagents.
