Liver and gliadin (GAF-3X) antigen

Primate liver and gliadin (GAF-3X) BIOCHIPs: antibodies against endomysium and gliadin

• Detection of antibodies against endomysium and gliadin.
• Indications: gluten-sensitive enteropathy (coeliac disease, non-tropical sprue), Duhring's herpetiform dermatitis.
• Autoantibodies against endomysium react with many types of tissue, e.g. primate oesophagus. The most suitable substrate, however, is primate liver: in the case of a positive sample, filamentous linings of the intralobular sinusoids react.
• With the gliadin (GAF-3X)-coated BIOCHIP, antibodies against gliadin can be analysed in one and the same test procedure.
• Both anti-endomysium antibodies and antibodies against gliadin (class IgA) are reliable serological markers for an active gluten-sensitive enteropathy. Therefore, their determination can in many cases replace endoscopy and biopsy.

Anti-gliadin (GAF-3X)

Anti-Gliadin (GAF-3X) ELISA

• Monospecific detection of antibodies against gliadin.
• Indications: gluten-sensitive enteropathy (coeliac disease, non-tropical sprue), Duhring's herpetiform dermatitis.
• The quantitative determination of antibodies against gliadin is very suitable for monitoring the progress of the disease, compliance with a gluten-free diet, or a gluten tolerance test.
