To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the biomarkers candidates found by 2D-DIGE and MS, we measured serum levels of apolipoprotein-A-I, apolipoprotein-A-II, apolipoprotein-E, transthyretin, tetranectin, and haptoglobin levels by commercially available ELISAs in a cohort of 32 AIP, 30 PaCa, and 30 healthy controls of randomly picked samples. This evidence concerns the gene HP and autoimmune pancreatitis.
