Antibody-mediated soluble CD14 stabilization prevents agitation-induced increases in presepsin levels in blood component specimens

Presepsin is a 13-kDa N-terminal glycoprotein of CD14. Previously, agitation-induced increases in presepsin levels have been reported; however, the mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to reveal the mechanism of presepsin increase. The agitated plasma or serum was separated u...
