Copper and selenium status as biomarkers of neonatal infections

This study established a robust, highly precise, partly validated and scalable novel CP sandwich ELISA suitable for basic and clinical research, requiring minute amounts of sample. The ratio of circulating CP/SELENOP constitutes a promising new composite biomarker for detection of EOS, at least in a subset of severely diseased children.
