α1 - Antitrypsin ELISA

The α1 - Antitrypsin ELISA kit is intended for the quantitative determination of α1-antitrypsin in human 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.
