... previously shown that urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), measured by a research ELISA, is an early predictive biomarker of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiopulmonary bypass ... NGAL measurements by research ELISA and by the ARCHITECT assay were highly corre- lated (r = 0.99). In a subsequent study, serial urine NGAL measurements were obtained by ARCHITECT assay...

... utility of measuring chemokine transcripts in peripheral blood as an indicator of disease activity. Their study builds on a growing literature that has used microarray, real-time polymerase chain ... or functional assays of IFN-α activity to quantify activation of the IFN pathway [5-7]. The measurement of serum chemokine protein has been proposed as an additional approach to define biolog...
