Assay for anti-INGAP antibodies

摘要

A solid phase assay is used for detecting antibodies to INGAP^104-118 peptide, a 15-amino acid peptide that is the biologically active portion of islet neogenesis associated protein (INGAP). The isotype of the antibodies to INGAP^104-118 peptide can be determined. A kit can also be used in the detection of anti-INGAP^104-118 antibodies. Endogenous autoantibodies or antibody production during therapeutic treatment of a mammal with INGAP^104-118 can be monitored.
