β2 - Microglobulin ELISA

The ß2 - Microglobulin ELISA kit is an enzyme immunoassay intended for the quantitative determination of ß2-microglobulin in serum, plasma and urine. 

ß2-microglobulin is a protein and is found on the cell membrane of all nucleated cells. This protein is metabolised extensively in the kidney.

The serum concentration is influenced by the rates of synthesis and metabolism and is usually stable in healthy persons. Changes in the serum concentrations are indicative of disorders in glomerular and tubular functions.

Serum β2-microglobulin is used as a prognostic tumor marker in oncohematology.
