Abstract:
Provided herein are antibodies for determining the concentration of anti-dsDNA and anti-chromatin antibodies in biological samples. In some embodiments, the presently described antibodies are single chain antibodies (e.g., scFv) that specifically bind double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and chromatin. In some embodiments, the presently described antibodies are chimeric, and specifically bind double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and chromatin. Such antibodies are referred to as chimeric anti-dsDNA/chromatin antibodies. Ln some embodiments, at least part of the constant region of the chimeric antibody is derived from a human antibody, e.g., a part of the constant region specifically recognized by a secondary antibody, Protein A, Protein G, or Protein A/G. In some embodiments, the constant region is derived from a human antibody.
Abstract:
Hemoglobin, its variants, and glycated forms of each are determined individually in a multiplex assay that permits correction of the measured level of IIbAI c to account for glycated variants and other factors related to the inclusion of the variants in the sample. New antibodies that are particularly well adapted to the multiplex assay are also provided.

Abstract:
The ratio of analytes is determined directly from the responses of the analytes using a conversion method. Individual analyte responses are obtained by using a selected measuring technique, and these individual responses are used as the independent variables in a conversion method. The dependent variable of conversion method is the desired analyte ratio. The resulting conversion method is then used to directly calculate the desired ratio of analytes as a function of the measured responses. No intermediate conversions, such as using a calibration curve to convert individual measured analyte responses to concentration values, are needed to obtain the desired ratio.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for determining whether a subject is suffering from celiac disease by contacting a sample of bodily fluid from the subject, with an antigen formed from a hexamer of a gliadin fusion protein immobilized on a solid support. The gliadin fusion protein of the antigen includes a recombinant deamidated gliadin linked to a tag such as Glutathione-S transferase (GST) protein. The antigen is prepared by immobilizing the gliadin fusion protein on the solid support. The antigen can further include tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) cross-linked to the gliadin fusion protein. When tTG is present, the tTG and recombinant deamidated gliadin are mixed together prior to immobilization to the solid phase.

Abstract:
Hemoglobin, its variants, and glycated forms of each are determined individually in a multiplex assay that permits correction of the measured level of HbAic to account for 5 glycated variants and other factors related to the inclusion of the variants in the sample. New antibodies that are particularly well adapted to the multiplex assay are also provided. 10971153_1 (GHMatters) P90472.AU.2 .. .. .. . .. .. . C. . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . . . . ..w. . . .
