Product Launch: PEPperCHIP® Autoimmune Epitope Microarray
The new PEPperCHIP® Autoimmune Epitope Microarray covers 4,287 linear autoimmune epitopes including 286 citrullinated peptides as well as the corresponding arginine variants. The database epitopes correlate with a variety of autoimmune diseases including Crohn’s disease, diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, vitiligo and many more.
Numerous research institutes, biotech and pharma companies meanwhile successfully applied the PEPperCHIP® Autoimmune Epitope Microarray to e.g.
- identify unknown autoimmune diseases in patient sera
- correlate autoantibody-specific IgG or IgM response profiles with pathogenesis
- disclose differential antibody responses of autoimmune patient groups
- discover new prognostic marker peptides
- discriminate multiple autoimmune diseases
