IDL Diagnosticsl AB (publ) is pleased to announce that its patent application (HK40055647) for the novel use of thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) protein in detecting and categorizing respiratory infections has been granted in Hong Kong. This expands the company's intellectual property portfolio, following earlier approvals in Europe (EP3966568) and Japan.
The patent covers the use of serum TK1 (sTK1) to predict and diagnose Mycoplasma pneumonia caused by M. pneumoniae, as well as distinguishing it from other bacterial pneumonias based on TK1 protein levels.
The research that supports the patent demonstrates an exciting opportunity to extend the use of our TK1 test to include respiratory infections. By strengthening the protection of our test, we facilitate further commercialization and broader use of our TK1 marker.
