Amelia Gill (asker) Apr 13, 2006:
AT III = antithrombin III AT III is an abbreviation for antithrombin III, by the way. Behring Diagnostics! I remember that assay; I studied and translated for 6 years in Marburg, Germany, where Emil von Behring experimented with horses and typhus. Well, well, well.
Ingeborg Gowans (X) Apr 12, 2006:
I fopund a (hopefully) helpful site: Becker's Abkuerzungslexikon;;Leider weiss ich auch nicht, was mit AT III gemeint ist,Als BD kam nur: Befunddokumnetation Bauchdecke, Begriffsdefinition und Brustdurchmesser

Behring Diagnostics

maybe it is "100% according to the assay by Behring Diagnostics" who produce the most commonly used assay for AT-III activity measurements ?

agree MMUlr : You are right, it's Behring Diagnostics --> http://www.pubmedcentral.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=498924 (I was also confused about the DE-EN language pair ...)

Thank you, Ingeborg! I'm not so sure this has been cleared up - unless ARGill proceeds to ask her client, or there's something like "BASF-100 mg" elsewhere in the text ;-)

Behcet's disease

the activity is 100% in adult patients with BD

possibly, if the author got his punctuation wrong.

in other words,
bei Erwachsenen BD, beträgt die normale AT III Aktivität 100%.

just guessing

assay from Becton Dickinson

Anne hat mich eigentlich darauf gebracht (aber Behring gibt es nun nicht mehr, die sind jetzt Hoechst --> Aventis --> Sanofi ...)

Aber BD für Becton Dickinson gibt es, siehe: http://www.bdbiosciences.com/index_us.shtml

In Deutschland gibt es BD ebenfalls mit einem Riesenspektrum an Produkten für die Labordiagnostik.

AT-III war schon aufgeklärt worden, hier noch ein weiterführender Text dazu:

Sorry for writing German - was confused about the DE - EN language direction - but anyway, Anne's answer is correct, so just forget about Becton Dickinson :-))

This article is quite interesting for your translation, including also Behring Diagnostics:
