Porcine NGAL ELISA

Because pig NGAL has not yet been isolated and no antibodies or immunochemical detection methods have hitherto been developed to detect or measure it, there are no published data on the physiological or pathological functions of this protein in the pig. However, it is likely that some features of the biosynthesis, location and release of pig NGAL will be similar to those of its homologues in other species. The present kit has in fact been developed to extend NGAL research and the use of NGAL as a marker molecule, especially for kidney injury, to the pig. In the following, some pathophysiological features of NGAL in other mammalian species will be mentioned, because similar features may be observed in the pig.
