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)?

  (young male pt with 14/17 glom with crescents, Ab neg on DIF and IIF, incl ANCA etc.)

Thanks,

Theo

FceRI Antibodies - From William Smith

My understanding is that there are still no commercial tests, the area has been difficult for technical reasons and also for reasons of test peformance- poor specificity in immunoassays, poor correlation between immuno and functional assays. Functional assays (BAT and histamine release) remain gold standard but reproducibility is poor and difficult to commercialise.
Regards, William
