Lateral Flow Assay to detect CXCL10 as a diagnose-supporting biomarker for Polyomavirus-associated Nephropathy (PVAN) after kidney transplantation (KTx)

Paper D Peer reviewed Preclinical

Key takeaways

Scientists created a quick test strip to detect a protein (CXCL10) that rises when transplant rejection happens due to a virus. The test worked in lab dishes and animal samples, but has not been tested in people yet.
