  • Immunologic assay for detection of autoantibodies to folate binding protein
    Publication number: 20100179073
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an assay that detects autoantibodies to folate receptor and can be used in the clinical diagnostic testing of these autoantibodies in humans. Although there are other methods that exist to detect these autoantibodies, the assay described in the present invention has several features that offer advantages over the existing methods. Some of these features include adaptability to high-throughput processing, the use of an immunoglobulin antibody to bind autoantibodies bound to folate receptor or the use of enzyme-labeled folic acid to bind folate binding protein and use of fluorescence or chemiluminescence for detection. This assay thereby avoids the use of radioactivity and can be automated and scaled to process hundreds of samples safely and simultaneously.
