kronus_logoThe KRONUS Zinc Transporter 8 Autoantibody (ZnT8Ab) ELISA Assay is for the semi-quantitative determination of autoantibodies to Zinc Transporter 8 (ZnT8) in human serum, and may be useful as an aid in the diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes mellitus (autoimmune mediated diabetes). The ZnT8Ab assay is not to be used alone and is to be used in conjunction with other
clinical and laboratory findings.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is the result of autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing β cells in the pancreatic islets and subsequent
loss of insulin secretion. Measurement of islet autoantibodies has become a useful clinical tool for the diagnosis of patients with diabetes.
