PROVIDER INITIATED TEST - The Jo-1 Antibodies test measures antibodies directed against the Jo-1 antigen, which are most commonly associated with inflammatory muscle diseases, particularly polymyositis and dermatomyositis. Jo-1 antibodies are also linked to antisynthetase syndrome, a condition that can involve muscle weakness, lung disease, joint symptoms, and fever.
This test is typically ordered when symptoms such as muscle weakness, muscle pain, shortness of breath, joint pain, or unexplained inflammation are present. It is often included as part of an ANA component panel or autoimmune myositis evaluation to help support diagnosis and guide further assessment.
