Immunofluorescence is a widely used technique for the detection and diagnosis of various types of autoantibodies in antenatal mothers. The presence of autoantibodies during pregnancy can have detrimental effects on both maternal and fetal health, leading to complications such as miscarriages, preterm labor, and neonatal lupus. This comprehensive review will discuss the principles and applications of immunofluorescence testing for autoantibodies, its relevance in antenatal care, and potential implications for maternal and fetal outcomes.
