The second meeting for the International Consensus on Antinuclear antibody (ANA) Pattern (ICAP) was held on 22 September 2015, one day prior to the opening of the 12th Dresden Symposium on Autoantibodies in Dresden, Germany. The ultimate goal of ICAP is to promote harmonization and understanding of autoantibody nomenclature, and thereby optimizing ANA usage in patient care. The newly developed ICAP website www.ANApatterns.org was introduced to the more than 50 participants. This was followed by several presentations and discussions focusing on key issues including the two-tier classification of ANA patterns into competent-level versus expert-level, the consideration of how to report composite versus mixed ANA patterns, and the necessity for developing a consensus on how ANA results should be reported. The need to establish on-line training modules to help users gain competency in identifying ANA patterns was discussed as a future addition to the website. To advance the ICAP goal of promoting wider international participation, it was agreed that there should be a consolidated plan to translate consensus documents into other languages by recruiting help from members of the respective communities.
抗核抗体（ANA）模式国际共识（ICAP）第二次会议于2015年9月22日举行，即德国德累斯顿第12届自身抗体德累斯顿研讨会开幕前一天。ICAP的最终目标是促进自身抗体命名法的统一和理解，从而优化患者护理中ANA的使用。新开发的ICAP网站www.ANApatterns.org向50多名与会者进行了介绍。随后进行了几场演讲和讨论，重点关注关键问题，包括将ANA模式分为合格水平与专家水平的两级分类、如何报告复合ANA模式与混合ANA模式的考量，以及就如何报告ANA结果达成共识的必要性。会上讨论了建立在线培训模块以帮助用户提高识别ANA模式能力的必要性，作为该网站未来的一项补充内容。为推进ICAP促进更广泛国际参与的目标，会议商定应制定一项综合计划，通过寻求各相关团体成员的帮助，将共识文件翻译成其他语言。
