-
Clinical chemistry reagents consisting of serum pooled either from donors with normal levels of proteins or from disease-state donors with above-normal concentrations of total proteins or of some specific proteins; less frequently, they are obtained by extracting some proteins from normal donor serum (i.e., protein-deficient serum). Protein control reagents are mostly used for quality control of specific lipoprotein assays performed in a sample of a body fluid.
