GAD-Ab ELisa Test Kit

INTENDED USE

Detection Kit for Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Antibody(GAD-Ab)(Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay , ELISA)GAD-Ab EIA kit is used in qualitative tests for Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Antibody(GAD-Ab)in human serum

SUMMARY AND CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) is a rate-limiting enzyme that converts glutamate into an inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), GAD exists in islet β cells, and is also synthesized and secreted by GABA. Glutamate decarboxylase antibody (GADA) is an immune marker for the early stage of type 1 diabetes mellitus and is also used as a therapeutic indicator for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of GADA in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus with Graves disease was significantly higher than that in patients with type 1 diabetes without Graves disease. GAD levels in patients with Graves were significantly higher, and the incidence of GADA in non-diabetic patients did not always predict type 1 diabetes.

PRINCIPLE

GAD-Ab EIA Kit will advance the recombinant human Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase was coated on the reaction plate, is used to capture the GAD-Ab in the sample, washing out extraneous material, then adding horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labeled mouse anti human IgG antibody. Finally, the formation of solid phase labeled anti-human

IgG complex, plus TMB color system after the role of color, the sample can be detected in human serum insulin antibody in the presence of the determination.
