Product name:Human LBP ELISA Kit
Description:
LPS binding protein (LBP) is an acute phase protein produced by hepatocytes and enterocytes. It binds to LPS, playing an important role in the handling of LPS by the host. LBP transfers LPS to CD14 on mononuclear phagocytes, leading to a 100 to 1,000-fold increased sensitivity of the cells to LPS. LBP can enhance the response of CD14 negative cells by acceleration of LPS binding to soluble CD14, a complex that stimulates these cells. LBP catalyses the interaction of LPS and lipoproteins, which effectively neutralizes its biological potency. A full range of products for LPB research is available including an ELISA kit for a variety of species.
