Standartization of anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody detection and assessment of transglutaminase interactions with fibronectin: Comparison of the results with two commercially available essays
Abstract:SUMMARY OF THESIS*ABRANTES
STANDARDIZATION OF ANTI-TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE ANTIBODY DETECTION AND ASSESSMENT OF TRANSGLUTAMINASE INTERACTIONS WITH FIBRONECTIN. COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS WITH TWO COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE ESSAYSINTRODUCTION: anti-endomysial (EMA) and anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTg) are the main circulating autoantibodies in patients with celiac disease. Inasmuch as tissue transglutaminase (tTg) is the target antigen of EMA, specific assays have been developed to establish the serological d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
