Autoimmune
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells in the body. Common autoimmune diseases include Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Celiac Disease, Multiple Sclerosis and Thyroidal disorders (Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease). Enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) provide a robust, quantitative method of measurement and surveillance of the analytes associated with these disorders, such as Rheumatoid Factor, dsDNA, Thyroglobulin, Thyroid Peroxidase, and Gliadin. Disease states can be identified and monitored through the quantitative detection of autoantibodies that bind to these target analytes in your serum or plasma sample.
