Orgentec Diagnostika has developed four new laboratory tests for the diagnosis of autoimmune liver diseases
The new tests systems, called Anti-Sp100, Anti-gp210, Anti-LKM-1, and Anti-SLA, detect specific autoantibodies that are characteristic of various autoimmune liver diseases.
The tests also allow for reliable differentiation between these autoimmune diseases and other diseases of the liver, such as viral infections, based on blood samples.
Autoimmune liver diseases are caused by a malfunctioning immune system.
This category of diseases includes autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
Orgentec's tests are suitable for cost-efficient differential diagnostics or for the differentiation of positive screening results from other ELISA, immunoblot tests or immunofluorescence assays.
