IMMUNOCHROMATOGRAPHY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE SIMULTANEOUS IDENTIFICATION OF AGA AND T-TG ANTIBODIES AND USE THEREOF FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF CELIAC DISEASE

摘要

The invention relates to an immunochromatography system comprising two immunochromatographic sticks or strips which enable the simultaneous identification of different antibodies in a biological sample from patients with celiac disease (CD), which are specific to the autoantigens that are characteristic of CD as well as AGA (antigliadin antibodies) and t-TG (tissue transglutaminase). The invention also relates to a method of identifying antibodies present in patients with CD, which is based on the aforementioned immunochromatography system and to the use of both the immunochromatography system and method for the diagnosis of patients with celiac disease.
