Line Immunoassay (LIA) products
IMMCO is pleased to announce the introduction of a proprietary technology and format for detection of 68kD antibodies to a 68kD heat shock protein associated with autoimmune Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL). Future LIA products with planned availability throughout 2012 will include tests for Myositis, ANA, Liver and Gastro antibodies.
Autoimmune hearing loss is a debilitating condition that affects approximately 15,000 individuals per year, with approximately 4,000 cases reported annually in the United States. The new ImmcoStripe™ hsp-70 Antibody LIA detects antibodies associated with autoimmune hearing loss and is manufactured using highly purified rhsp-70 antigen for a high degree of sensitivity and reliability.
New ImmcoStripe™ hsp-70 Antibody LIA assay is the first in a series of new LIAs to be developed by IMMCO. This assay features:
High specificity for SNHL
Clear visual reactions
Positive, negative and indeterminate results vs. the cut-off line
Easier to read format and greater reproducibility than Western Blot
Control lines ensuring that specimen, conjugate and substrate have been added
Complete traceability with user friendly multisession reporting
Proprietary technology
