Measurement of oxidized LDL as a marker for lipid peroxidation - New data to ß-Defensin-2

OxLDL ELISA

This is important for you to know:

“ …the new oxLDL ELISA (Immundiagnostik) is more sensitive … this assay but not the competitive method confirmed the expected efficacy of PPARg-activation in decreasing oxidized LDL particles in the observed patient population. “

Pfützner A et al. (2005) Clinical Evaluation of a new ELISA method for determination of oxidized LDL particles – a potential marker for arterisclerotic risk in diabetes medllitus. Abstract of the 5th Diabetes Technology Meeting, San Francisco (10.-12. November 2005)

ß-Defensin-2 ELISA

A recently published study from Langhorst J et al. (2006) presented preliminary data on human β-defensin-2 levels in faeces of patients with IBD and IBS (colon irritable).

They found:

“Higher human b-defensin-2 levels in feces in active ulcerative colitis and ileal but not in colonic Crohn´s Disease compared to IBS”

ELISAEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), also known as enzyme immunoassays (EIA), are used for the detection and quantification of proteins, peptides and antibodies in a sample. ELISA often comes in kit format, with pre-selected antibody pairs to detect specific proteins or biomarkers of diseases such as diabetes and obesity, or cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Detection is made possible with chemiluminescent, fluorescent or colorimetric substrates and detection instruments such as microplate / ELISA readers. Other kits available include: Enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assays for the quantification of protein-producing cells and chemiluminescent immunoassays (CLIA) kits. Find the best ELISA kits and products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Assay AssemblyAssay Assembly is technique used in drug discovery to develop assays to test the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, or other activities of a compound on a cell. Assay assembly requires chip assembly, a delivery system and a detection and analysis method. Beneficial features of assay kits or automated systems include high-throughput, high speed and sensitivity and low signal to noise ratio.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms.
