Anti-alpha Defensin 1 Antibody - BSA and Azide free (A283214)

Anti-alpha Defensin 1 Antibody - BSA and Azide free

Goat polyclonal antibody to alpha Defensin 1.

This antibody recognises defensin alpha 1, otherwise known as HNP-1 or neutrophil defensin 1. Defensin α-1 is a secreted cationic antimicrobial peptide and member of the alpha-defensin family, which plays an important role in the innate immune response against microbial infections.Synovial fluid defensin α-1 levels act as a biomarker for the evaluation of periprosthetic joint infection, a significant cause of morbidity and burden following prosthetic joint replacement.
