Acute Phase Protein Laboratory

APP & Veterinary Medicine

Acute phase proteins are highly sensitive markers of inflammation. Not just another tool in the diagnostic tool box. Check out more information here.

Marine Species

Our laboratory has taken the lead in establishing novel tests for use in marine mammals including manatees and dolphins (among others) and examining unique applications in elasmobranch and teleost species.
Uses in Marine Species

Elephants

Serum amyloid A and haptoglobin tests are validated for use in all species of elephants.  Clinical data supports the use of acute phase proteins in routine health assessments and as a key prognostic tool.
Tools for Elephants
