The 16 antigens covered in this panel are: Jo-1, PL-7, PL-12, EJ, OJ, SRP, Mi-2 alpha, Mi-2 beta, MDA5 (CADM-140), TIF1-gamma (p155\/140), NXP2 (MJ), SAE1, Ku, PM-Scl75, PM-Scl100, and Ro-52 (TRIM21). This test is advised for patients with suspected \u003ca title=\"How to test for Immunoglobulin\" href=\"\/blogs\/health-articles\/how-to-test-for-immunoglobulin\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eautoimmune inflammatory myopathy\u003c\/a\u003e, where the immune system incorrectly attacks healthy muscle tissue. At healthcare nt sickcare, this test is available in Pune with both home collection and direct walk-in facility options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuscle weakness that worsens over weeks, skin rashes around the eyelids or knuckles, and unexplained difficulty swallowing are primary symptoms that indicate the need for a myositis antibody profile. Each of the 16 antibody subtypes in this panel is linked to a distinct myositis subtype — dermatomyositis, polymyositis, antisynthetase syndrome, or immune-mediated necrotising myopathy (IMNM) — making this multi-antigen test far more clinically informative than testing a single antibody marker. \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8412094\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePublished research on myositis-specific antibodies\u003c\/a\u003e confirms that antibody subtype identification directly shapes treatment planning and prognosis. Patients across Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, and Maharashtra benefit from accurate early detection through NABL-accredited partner laboratory processing with reports delivered within 48–72 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the Myositis Profile IgG Test Is Recommended?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirect answer:\u003c\/strong\u003e It classifies the exact subtype of myositis and helps predict serious complications such as interstitial lung disease or cancer association, guiding treatment decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMyositis is a group of rare autoimmune disorders that are difficult to diagnose from clinical symptoms alone. Different antibodies within this 16-antigen panel indicate different disease subtypes, severity levels, and associated risks. For example, MDA5 antibody positivity is associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease, whilst TIF1-gamma positivity signals a higher risk of cancer-associated myositis. Testing all 16 antigens in a single panel avoids diagnostic delay, reduces unnecessary repeat testing, and supports precision medicine — matching treatment to each patient's specific immune profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTest Method and Sample Type\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Myositis Profile IgG test requires a simple venous blood sample collected from the arm. The sample is processed using line blot immunoassay technique at an NABL-accredited partner laboratory. No hospital admission is required, and sample collection can be completed at home or via walk-in at our Pune collection points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePreparation for Myositis Profile IgG Test\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo fasting is required for this test. Patients should inform their doctor about current immunosuppressive medications before sample collection, as these may affect antibody levels.

It is also advised when a patient has been started on azathioprine or other immunosuppressants and requires monitoring for autoimmune muscle involvement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRelated Educational Resources\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"How immunoglobulin antibody tests work\" href=\"\/blogs\/health-articles\/how-to-test-for-immunoglobulin\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eUnderstanding how IgG antibody tests diagnose autoimmune conditions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Compare health checkup packages Pune\" href=\"\/pages\/compare-health-checkups\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCompare specialised diagnostic profiles and autoimmune panels\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"How to book home lab tests online in Pune\" href=\"\/pages\/how-to-book-a-home-lab-test-online-with-healthcare-nt-sickcare\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHow to book a home lab test online with healthcare nt sickcare\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Service Options in Pune\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHome Collection Facility across Pune, Aundh, Baner, Wakad, Hinjewadi, Balewadi, Kothrud, and nearby areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect walk-in facility at partnered NABL-accredited collection centres in Pune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs – Myositis Profile IgG 16 Antigen Test\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.faq-item { border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5; padding:10px 0; }\n.faq-toggle {\n  position: absolute;\n  opacity: 0;\n  pointer-events: none;\n  height: 0;\n  width: 0;\n}\n.faq-question {\n  display:block;\n  font-weight:600;\n  cursor:pointer;\n  position:relative;\n  padding-right:20px;\n}\n.faq-question:after {\n  content:\"▸\";\n  position:absolute;\n  right:0;\n  transition: transform 0.2s ease;\n}\n.faq-toggle:checked + .faq-question:after {\n  transform: rotate(90deg);\n}\n.faq-answer {\n  display:none;\n  padding:6px 0 0 0;\n  line-height:1.5;\n}\n.faq-toggle:checked ~ .faq-answer {\n  display:block;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cinput class=\"faq-toggle\" id=\"myo16_faq1\" type=\"checkbox\"\u003e \u003clabel class=\"faq-question\" for=\"myo16_faq1\"\u003eWhat symptoms suggest the need for a Myositis Profile IgG test?\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-answer\"\u003eKey symptoms include progressive muscle weakness in the shoulders, hips or thighs, difficulty swallowing or breathing, a violet rash around the eyelids (heliotrope rash), raised bumps over the knuckles (Gottron's papules), unexplained fatigue, and elevated CK or aldolase on a routine blood test.
