Chicken Alpha 1-Acid Glycoprotein (AGP) is an acute-phase plasma protein primarily synthesized in the liver in response to inflammation, infection, or physiological stress. In chickens, AGP serves as a key marker of systemic immune activation and plays roles in modulating immune responses, transporting small molecules, and regulating the inflammatory process. Its levels rise rapidly during acute-phase responses, making it a sensitive indicator of health status and systemic stress in poultry. Beyond inflammation, AGP is also involved in tissue repair and homeostasis, reflecting the broader physiological state of the animal.
The Chicken AGP ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is designed to quantitatively measure AGP concentrations in serum, plasma, or other biological fluids. In research, this assay is widely used to study avian immune responses, monitor the effects of infectious agents or vaccination, and evaluate the impact of stressors such as environmental changes or dietary interventions on systemic inflammation. By tracking AGP levels, researchers can gain insights into the dynamics of the acute-phase response and overall immune function in poultry populations.
In clinical and veterinary settings, Chicken AGP ELISA is used to assess flock health, detect subclinical infections, and monitor recovery from disease or stress. Elevated AGP levels can indicate early stages of infection or inflammatory conditions, enabling timely intervention before clinical symptoms become severe. This makes AGP a valuable biomarker for both disease surveillance and management strategies in poultry production, contributing to improved animal welfare and optimized productivity.
