From: Two major ruminant acute phase proteins, haptoglobin and serum amyloid A, as serum biomarkers during active sheep scab infestation

Figure 6

Quantitative analyses of serum acute phase proteins in sheep during a field-acquired infestation with Psoroptes ovis . Mean serum Hp (Panel a) and SAA (Panel b) concentrations (± SE) from sheep (n = 12) pre-infestation, at the point of clinical diagnosis of sheep scab and 2 months post-treatment with an endectocide in a field outbreak of sheep scab. Hp measurement by commercial assay (ReactivLab) and SAA by commercial ELISA (Tridelta Development Ltd); sera from individual sheep diluted 1:50 for SAA assay and assayed in duplicate in both assays. **p ≤ 0.01; *p ≤ 0.05 as determined by a one-way ANOVA (Graph Pad Prism).
