| MAYAGUEZ, Puerto Rico and BALTIMORE, Sept. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CDI Laboratories, Inc. HuProt™ protein microarray provided important data on a recent high impact paper comparing the immune profiles of MIS-C, healthy children and individuals with COVID-19. (see https://www.newswise.com/coronavirus/mount-sinai-researchers-study-sars-cov2-caused-mis-c ) In recent months some children that have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) have developed an inflammatory problem that was initially recognized as very similar in presentation to Kawasaki disease (KD), an acute systemic vasculitis. A recent paper has mapped the cellular and serological immune dysfunction underlying this novel pediatric inflammatory syndrome associated with SARS-CoV-2, and helped define how this unique disease differs from Kawasaki disease.. Mapping Systemic Inflammation and Antibody Responses in Multisystem In the above paper auto-antigen reactivity of MIS-C plasma was assayed with CDI Laboratories HuProt protein arrays which contain 81% of the human proteome. This work revealed both known autoimmune-associated autoantibodies (anti-La) and novel candidates that recognize endothelial, gastrointestinal and immune-cell antigens unique to organs affected by MIS-C. “CDI is very proud that our HuProt array was so useful in looking into this perplexing side effect of COVID-19 infection in children,” said Scott Paschke, CDI VP. “Furthermore, PhIP-Seq technology was also used to look at linear epitopes of auto-antibodies, which is another technology that CDI has recently added.” About CDI – CDI is a privately-owned biotechnology corporation, that focuses on contract research services to enable R&D of future therapeutic and diagnostic tools to proceed more rapidly and cost-effectively.
