| β‑2‑Microglobulin the light chain protein of HLA class I is located on the cell membranes on all cells containing nuclei. β‑2‑Microglobulin provides a sensitive indicator for monitoring therapy and disease course in patients with multiple Myeloma, Hodgkin disease, chronic lymphatic leukemia, Non-Hodgkin lymphomas, and HIV infections. Other diseases with activation of the cellular immune system also induce an elevation of β‑2‑Microglobulin in serum. Additionally, β‑2‑Microglobulin is used as marker in the assessment of glomerular filtration rate, diagnostics and followup of tubulo-intestinal kidney damages and also in assessment of kidney function after kidney transplantation. The kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of β‑2‑Microglobulin in human urine, serum or plasma samples. |
