Anti-DEFA5 Monoclonal Antibody Clones 1A8 and 4F5 Immunoreactive Bioassay for Diagnosing Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Article in Research square, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Robust evidence suggests that the aberrant expression of α defensin 5 protein (DEFA5) in colon inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) underlies the distinct pathogenesis of Crohn's colitis, can be exploited as a reliable diagnostic biomarker to differential diagnosis of Crohn's colitis (CC) from Ulcerative colitis (UC) in otherwise indeterminate colitis (IC). We evaluated the specificity of the commercially available anti-DEFA5 antibodies and showed further validation of their appropriateness for a given application is required. Methods: We established two mouse monoclonal DEFA5 antibody clones 1A8 and 4F5 by immunizing the mice with purified recombinant protein and validated the specificity, selectivity and cross reactivity in recognizing the endogenous and recombinant DEFA5 protein, especially for Immunohistochemistry, Western blot, Immunoprecipitation, or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Clones 1A8 and 4F5 recognized effectively the endogenous DEFA5 in active human diverticulitis (DV), UC, CC or IC disease samples, including transiently transfected HEK293T cells expressing DEFA5 with high degree of specificity and minimal non-confounding cross reactivity. Conclusions: 1A8 and 4F5 clones are worth studying in larger IBD cohorts to fully address whether DEFA5 expression may be used as a diagnostic biomarker to discrimination of the diagnosis of UC from CC or IC into authentic CC or UC or a colitis with different pathological characteristics.
