PEPTIDE FOR THE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF ULCERATIVE COLITIS

摘要

The present invention relates to a peptide that is able to selectively bind to biopsies of inflamed intestinal tissue taken from patients affected by ulcerative colitis, for the differential diagnosis of this pathology, thus allowing to distinguish it from ulcerative colitis. A method for diagnosing ulcerative colitis, and a diagnostic kit are also described.
