What is the Anti Parietal Cell Antibody IIF Test?

A blood test for antibodies against the stomach's parietal cells is an anti-parietal cell antibody or Parietal Cell Antibody test. The parietal cells produce and release a chemical that aids in absorbing vitamin B12 by the body.

This test detects pernicious anaemia antibodies in the blood. Pernicious anaemia occurs when the immune system generates antibodies to parietal cells and intrinsic factors. A form of autoantibody, Parietal cell antibodies target specialized cells that line the stomach wall.
