Background Information
Albumin is a water-soluble protein with considerable structural stability. It is the most abundant of the human proteins, making up 60% of the total protein of plasma. It functions as a carrier of hormones, enzymes, fatty acids, metal ions, and medicinal products. For over fifty years, it has been used as a therapeutic agent for the restoration and maintenance of circulating blood volume for trauma, surgery and burn patients.

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.
