One-step immunochromatographic assay for screening of coeliac disease

Lancet
L SorellE Arranz

Abstract

Tissue transglutaminase is the autoantigen that elicits endomysial antibodies, which are the serological hallmarks of coeliac disease. We describe a simple, rapid immunochromatographic assay for IgA and IgG antibodies to transglutaminase, which is highly accurate for diagnosis of this disease. Results were positive for all samples from 50 untreated coeliac patients, and negative for 40 non-coeliac patients with gastrointestinal disorders. The assay seems to be a useful alternative to biopsy for mass screening for coeliac disease.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
