LAMP - From Marv Fritzler

Sometimes rhetorical questions come across as conclusions.

This paper only deals with particular entities that had been claimed by another group  to have anti-LAMP-2 who also claimed they were pathogenic and had a molecular mimic.

All I am saying is that the paper you cite should not be taken to dismiss that anti-LAMP-2 have other clinical associations or that they don't exist.

LAMP - From David Fulcher

Well it was actually a question not a conclusion, but the data, showing a high false-positivity rate in UTI, rather limits the diagnostic value, right? And their large cohort, and failure to reproduce (what I thought was a very impressive initial paper), casts doubt in my mind anyway.

Careful on what you conclude is debunked...have a careful look at the conclusion.

LAMP Antibodies

Dear All,

  A request from one of our renal physicians really.  Does anyone know of available testing for antibodies to LAMP (LAMP-2, I presume)?
