Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) was recently demonstrated to be a supportive biomarker for the diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring of infective endocarditis (IE) with a considerable variability in the individual LBP response of IE patients. DESIGN AND METHODS: LBP was measured by chemiluminescence assay in sera from 78 IE patients. Moreover, three new LightCycler PCR assays have been...
