LV Prasad Eye Institute reinforced quality of Diagnostic BioSystems FITC’s Antibodies
Diagnostic BioSystems FITC’s antibodies featured in international publication by the LV Prasad Eye Institute Hyderabad.
We are elated to inform you that our FITC-conjugated antibodies were used in supporting a recent publication in JoVE, highlighting the Technique of Conjunctival Biopsy and Direct Immunofluorescence (DIF) for diagnosing Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid (MMP).
Overview:
- Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid (MMP) is a chronic, scarring conjunctivitis that can cause vision loss if untreated. Early detection using Direct Immunofluorescence (DIF) of conjunctival biopsy is key for timely management.
- DBS FITC antibodies were utilized to detect IgG, IgA, IgM, and C3 deposits at the epithelial basement membrane zone (BMZ), enabling clear visualization and high diagnostic accuracy.
Clinical relevance:
- DIF with FITC antibodies plays a crucial role in differentiating MMP from drug-induced cicatrizing conjunctivitis and pseudopemphigoid, ensuring accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
