— Background: Vasodilatory shock, a reduction in effective blood circulation, occurs when endogenous vasoconstrictor mechanisms fail as a result of an often lethal combination of severe infections. Sepsis, as one of the causes, alone affects 1 million people resulting in more than 258,000 deaths each …

— This is a monoclonal antibody specific for NT-Pro BNP and can be used singly in a competitive immunoassay to measure the amount of this analyte in blood samples for the purpose of diagnosis or monitoring of congestive heart failure. In addition, it could be used in a sandwich immunoassay with a mono…
