Here I am again.

Here is a quotation from a conference paper, condensed by Ron Hoggan:

"The next antibody identified in the literature was the antireticulin 
antibody. We don't really know what protein antigen this antibody is 
developed in response to. The name is a serological term, but it reacts to
substances called reticulin which is in the tissues surrounding the 
tubules in the kidney. There are five types of reticulin antibodies. Only 
one of these is associated with celiac disease, and this is not a very 
sensitive marker, but it is very specific for celiac disease. When a
patient goes on a g-f diet, their antibody levels will eventually disappear
and become negative."

If you'd like to read the whole document here is the link:

So, I am trying to find out which type of reticulin antibody they tested for
in my previously cited test results. Anyone have any clues or suggestions as
to how to get this very important information?

Thanks again.
