IMTEC-AMA M2 is an indirect solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) for the quantitative measurement of IgG class autoantibodies against mitochondrial antigens in human serum. The assay is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only as an aid in the diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis.

Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic inflammatory liver disease. It starts with inflammatory changes in the small and in the medium sized biliary ducts and slowly develops pathological changes in the tissue, leading to complete liver cirrhosis.
