A novel cell-based immunofluorescence assay (CBA) provides sensitive and specific detection of IgM antibodies against myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), as demonstrated in a study published in collaboration with scientists from the University of Verona and the Pediatric Research Institute in Padua, Italy. The Anti-MAG CBA is now available for research use*. Anti-MAG-IgM antibodies are markers for […]
There is a huge variety of neurological diseases and it often takes specialists a long time to figure out the cause of a patient’s symptoms. Doctors regularly encounter patients with unspecific neurological complaints. In these cases, differential diagnostics is crucial to finding the right therapy. Even if the doctor has a suspicion and there are
Diacylglycerol lipase alpha (DAGLA) has been identified as a novel autoantibody target in patients with rapid progressive cerebellar ataxia. The autoantibodies were characterised as part of a collaborative study between scientists at EUROIMMUN (Lübeck, Germany), the Hannover Medical School, (Hannover, Germany) and further institutes and clinics. The study was published in April 2024 the journal
Two new studies on SARS-CoV-2 vaccine immune responses suggest that the XBB.1.5-containing mRNA vaccines most likely increase protection against COVID-19 caused by currently circulating XBB variants and the emerging BA.2.86 variant in healthy persons and in patients on haemodialysis. The studies build on collaborative work between the Hannover Medical School, Germany and EUROIMMUN and were
EUROIMMUN has been offering test systems for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) since 2019. Owing to the cooperation with IDS and their range of TDM products from Theradiag, we were able to significantly expand our portfolio: We are now offering ELISA and ChLIA test systems for the therapeutic monitoring of different biologics and antibodies against them
