IMTEC-d-Gliadin-Antibodies IgA
-
IMTEC-d-GLIADIN-ANTIBODIES IgA is an enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) for the quantitative measurement of IgA class autoantibodies against deamidated gliadin (d-gliadin) in human serum. The assay is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only as an aid in the diagnosis of celiac disease.
-
Celiac disease is common with an increasing prevalence of about 1:100 in Western populations, in South America, North Africa, and South Asia today. Early diagnosis of celiac disease followed by a gluten-free diet reduces significantly the risk of malignancy and mortality. The use of dGliadin instead of natural wheat gliadin improves the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity significantly.
