Executive Summary
BioResearch Ireland (BRI) has developed an assay for anti- streptokinase antibodies and a saliva test for oestradiol 17-beta. The two-hour, latex-agglutination SK test is intended for use in heart attack patients who may have had streptokinase treatment for previous heart attacks or even a streptococcal infection. Anti-SK antibodies can neutralise therapeutic streptokinase. The oestradiol assay is a two-hour direct, competitive, solid phase enzyme immunoassay. Saliva-based testing makes repetitive sampling in fertility diagnosis and treatment much less unpleasant.
