- Analyzers applicability: VET-SAA ‘Eiken’ is designed to be used on general clinical chemistry analyzers. About applied parameters, please contact us.
SAA features
SAA is one of the major APPs that is conserved in many animal species.
Inflammation response can be clearly detected. Also, SAA concentration is considered to reflect healing condition.
Horse SAA data adopted from: Jacobsen, S., Vinther, A.M., Kjelgaard-Hansen, M. et al. Validation of an equine serum amyloid A assay with an unusually broad working range. BMC Vet Res 15, 462 (2019).

| “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.

| "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) |
