Introduction

What are Specific Protein assays?

Specific protein assays determine the amount or concentration of a specific protein or an array of different proteins in a sample.

Different assays in this group may aid in the characterisation of a number of disorders.  Individual assays in this group may aid in the characterization of:

  • Auto-immune disorders
  • Infections
  • Hemolytic diseases (anemias)
  • Metabolic disorders and other diseases
Optilite® analyzer provides automated specific protein assays
with enhanced efficiency and optimized workflow.

Range of assays

The following assays are included in the specific protein assay range

Inflammation assays

  • A1 Acid Glycoprotein
  • A1 Antitrypsin
  • ASO
  • CRP
  • Rheumatoid factor

Other assays

  • Caeruloplasmin
  • Haptoglobin
  • Prealbumin
  • Transferrin

 

 
Abbreviation: ASO - Antistreptolysin O; CRP – C-reactive protein 
  • Anti-Streptolysin O (ASO)- Can be used to establish the degree of infection past or present, by β-haemolytic streptococci
  • Rheumatoid Factor (RF)- A marker that may aid in the characterisation of rheumatoid arthritis 
  • ɑ1 Acid Glycoprotein & C Reactive Protein are acute phase reactants raised in acute & chronic inflammatory conditions 
  • ɑ1 Antitrypsin deficiency is associated with conditions like pulmonary emphysema
  • Anti-Streptolysin O (ASO)- Can be used to establish the degree of infection past or present, by β-haemolytic streptococci
  • Rheumatoid Factor (RF)- A marker that may aid in the characterisation of rheumatoid arthritis 
  • ɑ1 Acid Glycoprotein & C Reactive Protein are acute phase reactants raised in acute & chronic inflammatory conditions 
  • ɑ1 Antitrypsin deficiency may lead to conditions like pulmonary emphysema
  • High sensitive C-reactive protein (hs CRP) can aid in identification of inflammation
  • Haptoglobin- A diagnostic marker for hemolytic diseases such as anemia, liver disease and inflammatory conditions
  • Caeruloplasmin- A diagnostic marker for copper metabolism disorders, such as Menkes or Wilson’s disease
  • Prealbumin- Aids in assessment of nutritional status
