Research Abstract |
We screened the human pancreas cDNA library using serum of theautoimmune pancreatitis with diabetes. I reported the new autoantibody which were common to autoimmune pancreatitis and fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus by a preliminary experiment. I built the Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting autoantibody against human amylase. As a result of having triedidentification of the epitope of the amylase antibody, I was able to pinpoint the part that antigenicity was high in. I try to build the ELISA having high sensitivity and specificity more now.
