The need for improved lab tests prompted the Lupus Foundation of America to support early research on the development of Cell-Bound Complement Activation Products also known as CB-CAPs. CB-CAPs are now the cornerstone of Exagen’s AVISE CTD test for diagnosis and AVISE SLE Monitor used to uncover disease activity in people who have lupus.
