Article Synopsis
  • Cleaved high-molecular-weight kininogen (HKa) serves as a biomarker for the activation of the kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) in patients with hereditary angioedema due to C1 inhibitor deficiency (HAE-C1INH).
  • The study aimed to create an HKa-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for monitoring KKS activation in the blood of HAE-C1INH patients, utilizing a specific antibody found through phage display.
  • Results showed that HKa levels were significantly higher in HAE-C1INH patients during attacks compared to healthy controls, indicating the potential of this ELISA for advancing drug development and understanding related diseases.
