Augurex - Model 14-3-3 -Augurex’s Autoimmune Disease Diagnostic Portfolio

14-3-3η is not normally present outside of cells. Therefore, in the disease state, the body views it as foreign and mounts an immune response in an attempt to clear it. This immune response generates14-3-3η specific auto-antibodies that are measureable in blood and provide complementary disease information to the 14-3-3η protein. In particular, they are highly specific in very early RA and increase the patient identification rate into the 90% range. Early RA diagnosis and treatment improves clinical outcomes and 14-3-3η protein and its auto-antibodies supports that clinical priority.
