IMTEC-Gastro-LIA is an indirect membrane based enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative determination of IgA and IgG class antibodies against deamidated gliadin (d-gliadin, DGP), tissue transgluatminase (tTG), mannan (ASCA), parietal cell antigen (PCA) and intrinsic factor (IF) in human serum or plasma. The assay is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only as an aid in the diagnosis of celiac disease, pernicious anemia and inflammatory bowl diseases.

Celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis (Duhring’s disease), which often occur in association with a gluten sensitive enteropathy are serologically characterised by the occurrence of IgA antibodies against endomysial connective tissue. This type of enteropathy is called celiac disease and typically manifests within the first few years of life, but sometimes also in adulthood. Gluten incompatibility leads to chronic digestive insufficiency, which is accompanied by damage to the intestinal mucosa and other symptomatic changes and troubles.
