A POINT OF CARE DEVICE, METHOD AND KIT INVOLVING CLUB CELL PROTEIN 16 AS A MARKER FOR SILICOSIS

摘要

The present invention provides a device and method based on lateral flow immunoassay for CC16 semi-quantification in serum sample. A novel membrane based semi quantitative detection of physiological/ pathological levels of CC16 in the serum has been provided. The device of the present invention provides affordable and easy to use strip-based screening approach for early detection of silicosis using CC16 as a biomarker.
