Serologic Assay for Diagnosis of Celiac Disease Based on a Patient-derived Monoclonal Anti-gliadin Antibody

Posted on July 21, 2015 by

Patients with celiac disease can be identified based on detection of serum antibodies to deamidated gliadin peptides (DGP). Recombinant human monoclonal antibodies (hmAb) against gliadin are produced by cloning antibody genes from single immunoglobulin… Continue reading →

Genetic Insights in Barrett’s Esophagus and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

Posted on July 21, 2015 by Brian J. Reid, Thomas G. Paulson, Xiaohong Li

Beginning in the 1980s, an alarming rise in the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA) led to screening of patients with reflux to detect Barrett’s esophagus (BE) and surveillance of BE to detect early EA. This strategy, based on linear progress… Continue reading →
