Description
Anti-DNase B is an antibody that targets the enzyme deoxyribonuclease B (DNase B), produced primarily by certain bacteria, especially Group A Streptococcus.
This test is used to assess the amount of Anti-DNase B antibodies present in the blood.
This test is often ordered alongside Streptolysin O Antibody (ASO). Anti-DNase B antibodies typically remain elevated longer than ASO and may remain elevated for several months after infection.
