What is the ADA gene?

The ADA gene provides instructions for producing the enzyme adenosine deaminase. This enzyme is produced in all cells, but the highest levels of adenosine deaminase occur in immune system cells called lymphocytes, which develop in lymphoid tissues.

What are anti-drug antibodies (Adas)?

Assays for the detection of “anti-drug antibodies” (ADA) facilitate understanding of potential immune responses to biologic drug candidates, and determining the presence of ADAs and evaluating their clinical implications are a necessary part of any large molecule development program.

What is an ADA test?

ADA is a crucial enzyme present in the body that performs the following functions: ADA test analyses the levels of ADA enzymes within the pleural fluids or serum, which are synthesised at higher levels as an immune response during tuberculosis, and help in the early diagnosis of the disease.
