Performance of an automated immunoturbidimetric assay for bovine serum amyloid A

Performance of an automated immunoturbidimetric assay for bovine serum amyloid A
  • The automated VET-SAA assay is considered acceptable for the measurement of SAA in cows

Acute phase proteins are a group of vital constituents of the innate immune system, which may also serve as circulatory biomarkers of inflammation. The major acute phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA) is a reliable and sensitive biomarker in cows, allowing for rapid detection of inflammatory disease. A multispecies automated immunoturbidimetric assay (VET-SAA, Eiken) has been validated for horses, dogs, and cats, and it has been used to measure SAA concentrations in bovine samples. The aim of the present study was to perform an analytical validation of the VET-SAA immunoturbidometric assay based on monoclonal antihuman SAA antibodies for the measurement ...
