Background Information

An acute-phase reactant. Increased levels are associated with normal pregnancy, rheumatoid arthritis, and cirrhosis. Decreased levels are associated with hepatolenticular degeneration (Wilson's Disease). An elevated level of Cp is found in patients with progressive tumors. Additionally, as Cp is a pro-oxidant, an elevated level is a sign of cardiovascular disease.
Handling

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening.

Datasheet
Properties

Human proteins, cDNA and human recombinants are used in human reactive ELISA kits and to produce anti-human mono and polyclonal antibodies. Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens). Depending on the epitopes used human ELISA kits can be cross reactive to many other species. Mainly analyzed are human serum, plasma, urine, saliva, human cell culture supernatants and biological samples.
