Canine parvovirus, type 2 (CPV-2) causes a severe and highly contagious disease in dogs. A common manifestation of parvovirus infection is hemorrhagic enteritis. The disease can be prevented by vaccination and the CPV-2 vaccine is recommended as a core vaccine that should be given to all dogs. Advanced ImmunoChemical now offers recombinant CPV-2 capsid protein … Read more →

Cystatin C is a low molecular weight (13.4 kDa) protein that functions as an inhibitor of various cysteine proteases in the bloodstream. It inhibits both endogenous proteases, such as lysosomal cathepsins, and proteases of parasites and microorganisms. Cystatin C binds to the target molecule in μM to the sub pM range in a competitive reversible … Read more →

New! The cardiac isoform of Troponin I (cTnI) is used as a gold standard as marker of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The region 24-40 aar of cTnI is a perspective target for monoclonal antibodies (MAb), because it is less affected by the action of autoantibodies and is not hindered by the other components of troponin … Read more →

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), including concussions, are one of the main public health concerns globally. TBI diagnosis is currently based on clinical assessment using scores such as Glasgow coma scale and computer tomography. However, scores can be compromised for various reasons and the computer tomography is less than perfect too as even in severe cases … Read more →

In dogs, C-reactive protein (CRP) can be used as a marker of inflammation. Its concentration in blood increases rapidly in systemic inflammation and decreases quickly during recovery. It has been shown to increase in disorders such as bacterial infections, sepsis and pyometra, as well as in the case of post-surgical infections. The marker responds to … Read more →

In a recent article, researchers at HyTest, Ltd. continued to study the prognostic value of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-4 (IGFBP-4) fragments in cardiac related diseases. The goal of the study was to assess the carboxy-terminal fragment (CT-IGFBP4) for the prognosis of outcomes of patients with acute heart failure. Read below: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31967738/ The study showed … Read more →

Cystatin C is known in clinical practice as a well-described serum marker of renal failure that is not dependent on age, sex or lean muscle mass (4, 5). At the same time, cystatin C is becoming acknowledged as a marker of elevated risk of death from cardiovascular complications – myocardial infarction and stroke (5). A … Read more →
