LP20810-5   Eosinophil cationic protein
Eosinophils are the cells chiefly responsible for producing the inflammation associated with asthma. When eosinophils in the airway are activated, they undergo degranulation causing airway epithelial damage. This can lead to chronic inflammatory disease of the airway.

Asthmatic patients with eosinophilic inflammation have elevated levels of ECP in serum and other body fluids such as bronchial alveolar fluid and (induced) sputum. A high level of serum ECP indicates inflammation, which is a risk factor for asthmatic patients.

Asthma therapy consists of suppressing chronic and persistent airway inflammation. Measuring ECP in a serum sample is an objective and direct way of estimating the severity of the airway inflammation and following the course of the disease.

ECP serum measurements can be used:

•For monitoring inflammation in asthma
•For guiding corticosteroid treatment in asthma
•To find non-compliant patients Copyright Copyright © 2006 Phadia AB. Source: ImmunoCap, ImmunoCap
