The Mercodia Oxidized LDL ELISA kit is intended to be used for in vitro quantification of oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxidized LDL) in human serum or plasma.

Mercodia Oxidized LDL ELISA is a unique sandwich ELISA based on the proprietary mouse monoclonal antibody 4E6, which is directed against a conformational epitope in oxidized ApoB-100. Elevated plasma levels of oxidized LDL are associated with higher cardiovascular risk and higher incidence of metabolic diseases, i.e. metabolic syndrome, obesity and type 2 diabetes. Also sub-clinical atherosclerosis, kidney and liver diseases are associated with increased levels of oxidized LDL.
