α1- Antitrypsin Clearance ELISA

The α1-Antitrypsin Clearance ELISA kit is an enzyme immunoassay intended for the quantitative determination of α1-Antitrypsin in serum, plasma and stool.

Various gastrointestinal diseases (e. g. allergies, chronic inflammation, malignancies) damage the mucosal integrity and/or cause lymphostasis, thereby leading to an increased transfer of plasma proteins into the bowel lumen.

An elevated α1-antitrypsin stool concentration is therefore a widely recognised marker for intestinal protein loss and for an increased mucosal permeability.
