This article talks about harnessing 40 years of diagnostic expertise to transform myasthenia gravis (MG) detection.
Sponsored Content by TecanMay 6 2024Reviewed by Olivia Frost MG, an autoimmune disease, occurs when the body's immune system produces antibodies that attack vital proteins at the neuromuscular junctions, impacting the skeletal muscles responsible for breathing and various movements. It is estimated that this chronic neuromuscular disorder impacts over 700,000 individuals worldwide.
Modern disease biomarkers and targeted assays are now available to enhance the speed and reliability of diagnosis.In most MG cases, autoantibodies specifically target acetylcholine receptors, transmembrane proteins responsible for transmitting electrical signals between nerve endings and muscles to facilitate muscle contractions.3
Leading the way in MG diagnostics Tecan first became involved in MG diagnostics back in 2000 when the company introduced a pioneering radioreceptor assay for detecting ARAbs. This non-radioactive assay, the world's first commercially available assay of its kind, is designed to enhance both diagnostic certainty and allows comparison of data of individual patients by follow-up measurements during treatment to observe patients’ disease status, especially for seronegative patients.
