  • Publication number: 20220349882
    Abstract: The current invention provides a multiplex method for screening bovine samples for antibodies against several important pathogens. These pathogens include Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus (BVDV), Bovine Herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1), Mycobacterium paratuberculosis (MAP), Leptospira species, Neospora caninum and Fasciola hepatica.

  • Patent number: 10545157
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods and solid states devices for detecting and staging chronic kidney disease in a patient, where the levels of biomarkers in a sample obtained from a patient are elevated or reduced compared to the levels in a sample obtained from healthy subject. In addition, the disclosure provides the use of methods and solid state devices for measurement of specific biological markers for determining the efficacy of a treatment for chronic kidney disease and for determining a drug treatment protocol for a subject suffering from chronic kidney disease.

  • Publication number: 20190154672
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multiplexing system comprising a support substrate having immobilised thereto one or more of the following proteins, fragments thereof or a binding molecule, wherein the binding molecule binds specifically to one of the following proteins: E-FABP, B-FABP, IL-FABP, I-FABP, M-FABP, A-FABP, H-FABP, L-FABP or T-FABP. Another aspect is directed to a method for characterising the pattern of FABP antigens existing within a biological sample to reveal information useful in the diagnosis or disease or injury.

  • Publication number: 20160097780
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for the diagnosis of subjects that have or are at risk of having Alzheimer's disease (AD). In particular the present invention identifies individuals who have or are at risk of having AD through measurement of the levels of Afamin in combination with at least one other biomarker such as Alpha-1-antichymotrypsin, Alpha-2-macroglobulin, ApoB100, Complement C5, Serine threonine protein kinase TBK1 or Complement C3 in a fluid sample taken from a subject. Furthermore, genotype (Apolipoprotein E or glutathione S-transferase Omega) may also be taken into consideration and used within classification algorithms to determine the probability of a subject having or being at risk of having AD.
