Sepsis and inflammatory disorders - a new diagnostic opportunity

The imiwn sTLR2 RAPID test is a UKCA certified in vitro diagnostic immunochromatographic assay for the semi-quantitative measurement of human soluble Toll-like receptor 2 (sTLR2) in serum - a biomarker of inflammation and sepsis. The level of sTLR2 in serum has the potential to provide additional information to that of traditional biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP).

The sTLR2 rapid test addresses a significant gap in the sepsis diagnostic market, providing scientists and clinicians with a new, potentially transformative tool, and additional opportunities for decision making and health outcomes.

Developed by a UK based innovative biotech company, with proven technology and a defined roadmap for scalability, the company is positioned for rapid growth through strategic partnerships to reach a broad market, whilst supporting research into additional diagnostic applications and platforms.

Soluble Toll-like receptor 2

A soluble form of Toll-like receptor 2 (sTLR2) is present in human plasma and amniotic fluid, and shows anti-inflammatory potential. It is released early upon infection/cell activation and acts as a decoy receptor to limit inflammation. Elevated levels of sTLR2 may be present early on in patients with sepsis, and other infective and inflammatory conditions.
