Lee Biosolution increases inventory for C-Reactive Protein due to worldwide demand

PRLog (Press Release) – Nov 13, 2007 – ST. LOUIS – Lee Biosolutions ( http://www.leebio.com/) has announced increased inventory levels and availability of high purity Human C-Reactive Protein (CRP) for research and the clinical diagnostic manufacturer due to world wide demand.

C-Reactive Protein ( http://www.leebio.com/products/details.html?uid=33) is a protein found in the blood that operates as a marker for inflammation , meaning its presence indicates an increased state of inflammation in the body. Inflammation is a normal response to a number of physical states including injury, fever and infection. Inflammation is also believed to play a role in the initiation and progression of cardiovascular disease.

According to Lee Biosolutions President Burton Lee, the company pays close attention to the clinical research community to stay ahead of their demands for acute phase proteins like C-Reactive Protein CRP .

“Lee Biosolutions has developed a reputation for high quality biomarker production.” Lee said. “ Cardiac Markers like myeloperoxidase , cardiac Troponin I and C-Reactive Protein have become very popular among researchers in recent years as they study the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac diseases and conditions.”

CRP studies ( http://c-reactive-protein.blogspot.com ) have shown that baseline Human C-Reactive Protein concentrations are not subject to time-of-day variation and, therefore, help explain why CRP concentrations are a better predictor of vascular risk than interleukin-6. Determination of CRP for cardiovascular risk prediction may be performed without concern for diumal variation.

According to the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry reports on Human CRP, increased concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers such as Human C-Reactive Protein CRP, serum Amvloid A, myeloperoxidase and interleukin-6 are detectable in ACS (acute coronary syndrome) patients.

Lee Biosolutions is a leader in the biomaterials industry, providing quality biomaterial products to clinical labs and researchers around the world, developing tomorrow’s cures. Lee Bio has provided human proteins in a number of high profile biomarker studies.
