Evaluation of DiaSorin Liaison® calprotectin fecal assay adapted for pleural effusion

Abstract

Calprotectin (CP) is a calcium and zinc binding protein that is widely measured on faecal samples but its determination in other biological fluids might be of interest. The aim of this work was to validate the measurement of CP in pleural fluid by chemiluminescence.
