ALPCO Introduces Immundiagnostik Bone Sialoprotein (BSP) ELISA to North America
Salem, NH, October 15, 2009 --(PR.com)-- ALPCO Diagnostics, a leading developer and distributor of high quality immunoassay kits, is pleased to introduce the Immundiagnostik Bone Sialoprotein (BSP) ELISA to North American researchers.
Sean Conley, COO of ALPCO, said “We are very excited to introduce the BSP ELISA as a complement to our line of Bone Metabolism and Cancer assays. This provides another valuable tool for researchers as it is the first ready-to-use ELISA available in North America.”
Bone Sialoprotein (BSP) is a noncollagenous protein found in most cells specific to bone, cartilage and teeth. Along with osteopontin, osteoprotegerin (OPG) and sRANKL, BSP is an emerging candidate in the search for noninvasive indicators of bone remodeling. As such, it may be valuable as an indicator of bone metabolism and assessing efficacy of certain pharmacological therapies.
Another form of BSP, underglycosylated or carbohydrate deficient BSP, is expressed by a number of cancerous tumors including breast, prostate, lung, thyroid, multiple myeloma and neuroblastoma, all of which are commonly implicated in bone metastases. ALPCO's Bone Sialoprotein (BSP) ELISA is manufactured by Immundiagnostik and exhibits outstanding sensitivity and specificity for the underglycosylated or carbohydrate deficient Bone Sialoprotein.
