anti-Human Calprotectin Antibody (Mouse - Clone #101) - Monoclonal

Calprotectin is a protein found in the cytoplasm of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell. It plays a role in the immune response, particularly in the inflammatory process. Calprotectin levels can be measured in various bodily fluids, including blood, stool, and urine. In clinical practice, measuring calprotectin levels in stool is particularly useful as it can indicate intestinal inflammation and is commonly used as a marker for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. High levels of calprotectin in stool samples suggest inflammation in the intestines, helping clinicians diagnose and monitor the progress of these conditions.
