Rapid Delivery for Stool Obt Test - Anti-human calprotectin Antibody, Mouse Monoclonal – Bioantibody

Product details

General Information
Calprotectin is a protein released by a type of white blood cell called a neutrophil. When there is inflammation in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, neutrophils move to the area and release calprotectin, resulting in an increased level in the stool. Measuring the level of calprotectin in stool is a useful way to detect inflammation in the intestines.
Intestinal inflammation is associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and with some bacterial GI infections, but it is not associated with many other disorders that affect bowel function and cause similar symptoms. Calprotectin can be used to help distinguish between inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions, as well as monitoring disease activity.
