Use of an antimicrobial protein for endotoxin detection in a competitive electrochemical assay

Endotoxins, also referred to as pyrogens, are part of the cellular walls of Gram-negative bacteria and are capable of inducing fever when entering into the blood stream. Current methods of detection involve the use of either amoebocytes from horseshoe crab that clots upon exposure to endotoxin or a...
