Immunoassay reagents intended to perform quantitative analyses of body fluids (typically plasma or serum) to determine the level of the lipoprotein-associated enzyme phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2). These tests are usually based on turbidimetric or ELISA tests that use specific antibodies to identify the level of (Lp-PLA2). They may be used as an aid to assess vascular inflammation and the risk for coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke associated with atherosclerosis.
