New publication: Bovine mastitis and inflammation

New papers about bovine serum amyloid A (SAA) were published. Our immunoassay reagent "VET-SAA Eiken" is used for measurement of SAA.

“Hepatic SAA2 and SAA4 mRNA abundance significantly increased from 4 hr after administration, and remained significantly higher than those pre-values up to 12 and 24 hr, respectively. [...] The major isotype was SAA2 in liver tissue, and it is indicating systemic inflammation in cattle.” (Otsuka et al. 2020)

"Only the plasma SAA concentration in cows with clinical mastitis (44.90 mg/l; n=15) was significantly higher than that in those with subclinical mastitis (10.70 mg/l; n=16), enabling their diagnosis in contrast to other APPs. Thus, the SAA assay using a LATIA reagent is useful in assessing mastitis severity due to its higher sensitivity and specificity than other APP assays." (Otsuka et al. 2020)
