SAA Rapid Quantitative Test (Chemiluminescence Immunoassay)

Application

Serum amyloid A (SAA) proteins comprise a family of apolipoproteins coded for by at least three genes with allelic variation and a high degree of homology between species. The synthesis of certain members of the SAA family is greatly increased during inflammation. However, SAA is not often used as an acute-phase marker, despite being at least as sensitive as C-reactive protein (CRP) in this regard.

SAA proteins can be considered as apolipoproteins since they associate primarily with plasma lipoproteins within the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) range, perhaps through their amphipathic α-helical structure. This association with HDL particles may play a role in the transport and metabolism of SAA during the acute-phase response.
