Bactericidal Permeability-increasing Protein (BPI) from Human Neutrophil from Aladdin Scientific Corporation

Bactericidal Permeability-increasing Protein (BPI) is present in the azurophilic granules of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). BPI is toxic only toward Gram-negative bacteria. This specificity is attributable to the strong attraction of BPI for the lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in the bacterial envelope. BPI is also an important antigen for anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) in vasculitis.Prepared from whole blood shown to be non reactive for HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HBc, and negative for anti-HIV 1 & 2 by FDA-required tests.Aladdin products are laboratory reagents and are not to be administered to humans or used for any drug purpose.
