HeberFast Line® anti-transglutaminasa is a recommended test for the early diagnosis of celiac disease, by detecting IgG and IgA antibodies in human whole blood, serum or plasma. It is also recommended to contribute to the investigation of patients with clinical symptoms of celiac disease (CD), for the diagnosis of asymptomatic individuals with a family history of CD, and for the study of patients with diseases where CD has been reported more frequently. ; for example, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, Down syndrome, selective IgA deficiency, and others. The test is an important adjunct to a first intestinal biopsy for the diagnosis of CD.
When the sample is added through the corresponding end of the strip, the sample migrates through the pores of the membranes that make it up, carrying the conjugate of colloidal gold with transglutaminase. If there are specific antibodies in the sample, they form an immune complex with the transglutaminase conjugated to the colloidal gold particles. This immune complex is subsequently captured by the transglutaminase bound to the nitrocellulose membrane, forming a colored line (positive line). In negative samples, this positive line is not formed. The conjugate not captured in the positive line is trapped in another area of the nitrocellulose membrane, for which a second colored line (control line) is visualized, which is formed in all samples, regardless of the presence of anti-transglutaminase antibodies.
