Protein profile and separation of serum protein fractions in laboratory diagnostics and in the evaluation of animal health disorders

Diagnostic markers play an important role in the laboratory diagnosis of diseases. They are mostly substances of a proteinaceous nature, are formed in the body as a result of the origin and development of the pathological process, and form part of the metabolic and immunological responses to damage. These can pass from pathologically altered cells, tissues to body fluids and in some diseases can be used in the diagnostic process as they indicate the presence of a pathological process. These markers play an important role in monitoring the clinical course of the disease process, objectively point to the clinical condition of the patient and the effectiveness of therapeutic procedures, determine the severity of damage, can have predictive and prognostic value. The aim of the project is to expand and further develop the panel of laboratory tests in animals with newer innovative protein biomarkers and health indicators that could complement and improve the diagnostic process of several serious animal diseases.
