摘要:
The present invention refers to an analytical method for the identification of at least one transferrin glycoform and/ or isoform and/ or sialoform, and in particular of those known as carbohydrate-deficient transferrin, possibly present in a complex biological matrix, by protein functionalisation with a source of lanthanide 3+ ion. The marked glycoforms thus obtained may be separated and detected by fluorescence, using analytical techniques, for example, HPLC or CE.
摘要:
The present invention pertains to the field of diagnostics for iron adsorption disorder or impaired energy metabolism and toxicological assessments for risk stratification of chemical compounds. Specifically, it relates to a method for diagnosing iron adsorption disorder or impaired energy metabolism. It also relates to a method for determining whether a compound is capable of inducing such iron adsorption disorder or impaired energy metabolism in a subject and to a method of identifying a drug for treating iron adsorption disorder or impaired energy metabolism. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a device and a kit for diagnosing iron adsorption disorder or impaired energy metabolism.

摘要:
The invention concerns a method for detecting disorders of iron metabolism and in particular the differential diagnosis of disorders of iron metabolism by means of three independent parameters. The differential diagnosis can be used to classify disorders of iron metabolism and to recommend the required treatment and to monitor the progress and response to treatment.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for preventing the adsorption of lactoferrin to a storage container or a reaction container characterized by regulating the pH value of a lactoferrin-containing solution in the container not to exceed 4, or regulating the salt concentration of the solution, for example, at least 1.0 M in the case of NaCl or at least 0.5 M in the case of KCl; a lactoferrin containing solution which has a pH value of at most 4, a sodium chloride concentration of at least 1.0 M or a potassium chloride concentration of at least 0.5 M; and a kit for assaying lactoferrin which comprises the above-mentioned solution as a constituting reagent.
摘要:
The invention concerns the use of hepcidin for the diagnosis and therapy of disorders of iron homeostasis. Hepcidin can be used in the treatment of disorders resulting from iron overload, while inhibitors of hepcidin can be used in the treatment of anaemia.
