FOREWORD
The immune response in autoimmune diseases is itself part of the disease process, where the immune system reacts against
components naturally present in the human being as if they were a menace for the organism. Consequently, it is possible to use
autoantibodies as markers of disease.
In some of these diseases, autoantibodies can predict both the likelihood of clinical disease and the rate of progression to
disease, but also autoantibodies can be detected in diseases with a long period before the onset of clinical symptoms. This is
the case of type 1 diabetes and thyroiditis, in which the destruction of hormone-secreting cells may take place years before the
first clinical symptoms.
A long experience and a deep know-how, resulting from a close work together with thousands of satisfied professionals
worldwide, are the basis for our products for Autoimmune Diseases Diagnostic. All the products have been developed to keep
the pace with leading research on Autoimmunity. Being pioneers in areas such as Celiac Disease, Organ-Specific Autoimmunity
or Cell Culture, we have become one of the leader companies around the world.
