Research Areas

Aging/ Neurodegenerative

IBL started to focus on research and development in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) around 1995. Since that time we have been lining up ELISA and antibody products that detect important proteins in relation to “the amyloid hypothesis” such as Amyloid-beta Precursor Protein (APP), Amyloidβ and Tau protein. IBL has been manufacturing and supplying these products for over 20 years.

Kidney Disease

α(Alpha)-Klotho has an important role for regulating mineral metabolism as the co-receptor of FGF23 that is extensively researched in kidney disease. IBL has an ELISA that specifically detects human soluble α-Klotho which has been IBL’s bestselling product since it was released in 2010. IBL also has a lot of unique ELISA products in the field of kidney research such as Gd-IgA1 for IgA Nephropathy, Angiotensinogen for Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) involved in the regulation of blood pressure, as well as Soluble (Pro) Renin Receptor and AIM (Apoptosis Inhibitor of Macrophage) ELISAs.

Inflammatory Disease

IBL has been continuously involved in the research, development, manufacturing, and supply of antibodies used in cancer research since we first started research and development on Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) when the company was established. We have various antibodies and ELISAs which can be used in research of various cancers, such as large intestine cancer, stomach cancer, thyroid cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, and mesothelial tumors.

CD134/OX40

Factors involved in activated T cells and T cell proliferation /invasion

CD134/OX40 is a receptor of OX40 ligand (OX40L) transactivated by Tax of HTLV-1. OX40 is expressed in activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. OX40 on the activated T cells has a role in proliferation of T cells and production of cytokines by binding with OX40L expressed on antigen presenting cells like dendritic cells or activated B cells. In addition, it may also be involved in activated T cell invasion to inflamed areas through the binding with OX40L.

Mac-2bp

Explanation of Method of Feeding

Normal Meal
The meal that is used as a normal meal at an animal testing center was fed to mice.

NASH Meal
High fat and high cholesterol food (7.5% fatty acid, 1.25% cholesterol, and 0.5% cholic acid) was fed to mice for 4 weeks or 8 weeks.

Mac-2 binding protein (Mac-2bp) is a secreted glycoprotein (90kDa) and identified as a ligand of Galectin-3. It is considered that it promotes cell adhesion through interaction with Galectin-3. It has also been considered that Mac-2bp is a useful blood biomarker for research of chronic hepatic diseases such as NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis).

Glucose-Lipid Metabolism

IBL has a comprehensive line of incretin related assays that are used in diabetes research. We also have a wide range of assays that are useful for panel measurement of lipid metabolic related proteins for searching drug seeds and hyperlipidemia or cardiovascular event research. In some cases measurement of incretin or insulin may require the use of small animal samples such as mice or rats. In these instances, it can oftentimes be difficult to obtain enough sample volume for measurement. Because of this, highly sensitive assay systems are required for measuring low concentrated incretin and insulin in fasting using small animal samples. The IBL ELISAs are highly sensitive to ensure accurate measurement in small volume samples.

GLP-1, Active

IBL #27700 (Direct) vs Competitor (SPE)
(Correlation Data)

IBL’s GLP-1 active kit was strategically developed for preventing non-specific unwanted reaction against HAMA even if you skip the hectic solid-phase extraction (SPE) process. The ELISA also provides stable assay results due to the level of sensitivity even if you measure it in the range of low concentration in fasting. #27700 GLP-1, active (h.s.) ELISA can also be used among human, mouse and rat samples.

Lipid Metabolism Map

Significance of TG Control
The significance of triglyceride (TG) controls has been shown in recent studies. Development of new drugs that inhibit regulating factors of LPL activity that are critical for TG metabolism has been progressing on a fast track.

Future Drug Development (ANGPTL3, 4, 8 and ApoC3 inhibitors)
The factors that negatively regulate LPL activity like ANGPTL3 inhibitor and recent hot topics “The Development of ApoC3 Inhibitor” have been actively discussed by researchers. It has been expected that the most focused drug development might be ANGPTL4 inhibitor and/or ANGPTL8 inhibitor in the near future.

Another Risk Factor as Drug Development Target (ApoA5 and GPIHBP1)
It has been considered that possible risk factors that positively regulate LPL activity like ApoA5 or GPIHBP1 might be targeted in drug development for the purpose of TG controls. Furthermore, it has been suggested that ApoA5 could be an important risk factor for early-onset myocardial infarction as well as LDL receptor by genome analysis.

ANGPTL2 associates with Cardiac Dysfunction
It is recently reported that there may be evidence of correlation between elevated circulating ANGPTL2 levels and cardiovascular disease (CVD) or heart failure (HF) as well as association between ANGPTL2 expression and cellular senescence.
