The Lactoferrin CLIA Kit is intended for use by trained laboratory personnel for the quantitative measurement of fecal lactoferrin in human stool samples. The test is intended to be used with the KleeYa platform. For in vitro diagnostic use in the United States and Canada.
Use with the Lactoferrin CLIA Re-Calibrator and Control Set (80-LACHU-FCSET)
Human lactoferrin (LF) is an iron binding 80 kDa glycoprotein found concentrated in neutrophils. A multifunctional protein, lactoferrin demonstrates a wide range of properties including regulation of iron homeostasis, antimicrobial activity, anti-inflammatory activity, and anti-tumor activity.
The Lactoferrin CLIA Kit is a chemiluminescent immunoassay based on the use of specific antibodies against lactoferrin. The KleeYa system allows for complete automation of immunoassays. The system performs the sample processing (sample pre-dilutions, sample and reagent dispensing, incubations, wash processes) as well as the measurement and evaluation.
Concentration of lactoferrin in the samples is calculated on the instrument based on the calibration curve as determined by the re-calibrators run within a 24-hour period.
Lactoferrin is a key member of the transferrin family of proteins that protects against microbial infection, regulates iron absorption, and modulates immune function in a wide range of tissues. The Lactoferrin CLIA Kit is a chemiluminescence immunoassay for the quantitative determination of lactoferrin in human stool samples using the KleeYa automated platform.
1. What percentage of your IgE allergy testing panel consists of molecular allergens rather than allergen extracts? The ALEX2 IgE allergen panel consists of 117 extracts and 183 molecular allergens. This represents the largest panel of molecular allergens on the market, including 50 unique...
Cases of food and environmental allergies have been increasing over the last decade. While conservative estimates suggest IgE-mediated allergy affects 6-8% of children and 2-3% of adults, some estimates are as high as 30%.3, 2 Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include itching, hives,...
Food sensitivity or food intolerance involves a non-allergic response to a food or food additive. In a recent on-line survey conducted in the U.S., 24% of adults aged 18 to 79 reported a food intolerance. While a food allergy is typically mediated by IgE antibodies, adverse reactions to food...
In a head-to-head comparison of FDA-cleared assays and a novel ALPCO method, investigators observed wide variability in specificity and false-positive rates across platforms, raising important questions about standardization and clinical interpretation.
