ImmunoCAP ECP Update

THESE PRODUCTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

We would like to update you with a recent brochure from Thermo Fisher Scientific on the ImmunoCAP^TM ECP for quantifying eosinophil cationic protein (ECP).
ImmunoCAP^TM ECP measures the level of ECP in serum. A high level of serum ECP indicates inflammation which is a risk factor for asthmatic patients. Measuring ECP in a serum sample is an objec­tive and direct way of estimating the severity of airway inflammation and following the course of disease in asth­matic patients.
 
Clinical importance in asthma
 
ImmunoCAP^TM ECP serum measurements can be used:

• To monitor inflammation in asthma
• To guide corticosteroid treatment in asthma
• To find non-compliant patients

ImmunoCAP^TM ECP helps to identify ongoing inflammation associated with asthma and aids in determining appropriate therapy for asthmatic patients.
