VCAM
Serum concentrations of VCAM were determined using the Quantikine VCAM
ELISA kit (Biotechne, R&D Systems, Oxon, UK). The detection limit was
0.60 μg/L with a measurement range 349 to 991 μg/L. The intra-assay
coefficients of variation for the low and high concentrations were 2.3%
and 3.6%. The inter-assay coefficients of variation for the low and
high concentrations were 7.8% and 5.5%.
