  • Detection of antibodies to glycosphingolipids using solid-phase reactants coated with carbonyl groups
    Patent number: 6951763
    Abstract: Methods of detecting antibodies to one or more glycosphingolipid(s) of interest in a sample are disclosed which comprise using a solid-phase reactant having carbonyl groups attached theron, and the glycosphingolipid(s) of interest linked to the solid-phase reactant by an amide bond between an amino group of the glycosphingolipid of interest and a carbonyl group attached to the solid-phase reactant. The methods of detecting antibodies to glycosphingolipid(s) of interest can be used in methods of diagnosing autoimmune diseases in an individual.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 10, 2003
    Date of Patent: October 4, 2005
    Assignee: Athena Diagnostics, Inc.
    Inventors: Normand J. Robichaud, Louis P. Kertiles
  • Detection of antibodies to gangliosides using solid-phase reactants coated with carbonyl groups
    Patent number: 6824999
    Abstract: Methods of detecting antibodies to one or more ganglioside(s) of interest in a sample are disclosed which comprise using a solid-phase reactant having carbonyl groups attached thereon, and the ganglioside(s) of interest linked to the solid-phase reactant by an amide bond between an amino group of the ganglioside of interest and a carbonyl group attached to the solid-phase reactant. The methods of detecting antibodies to ganglioside(s) of interest can be used in methods of diagnosing neuropathies in an individual.
