Myeloperoxidase (MPO) ELISA

The MPO ELISA kit is an enzyme immunoassay intended for the quantitative determination of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in urine and stool. 

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) catalyses the oxidation of substances through H2O2. The MPO H2O2–system has a toxic effect on many micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and mycoplasma. The efficiency of the bacteria-destructive myeloperoxidase H2O2–system is increased by PMN-Elastase.

Indications:

• Marker for inflammatory activities in the gastrointestinal tract (Stool);

• Renal transplant rejection (Urine);

• Oxidative stress (Serum);

• For the differentiation between allergic and infectious asthma (bronchial lavage, respiratory condensate, sputum);

• Prediction of risk in patients with acute coronary syndromes (Serum).
