What is Alpha2EQ®
Our Alpha2EQ kits filter and use the potent biological
anti-inflammatory molecule to address equine lameness, joint inflammation, soft tissue injury and airway inflammation at the source.
Orthobiologics: What are they and why are they important?
Orthobiologics are derived from natural substances found in the body. They can be used to promote healing. When trauma occurs to joints and soft tissue, it triggers the inflammatory cascade. This includes the release of protease enzymes and pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Left unchecked, proteases and cytokines may cause more tissue damage.
Alpha-2-macroglobulin: A potent anti-inflammatory molecule
Alpha-2-macroglobulin (α2M) is a naturally occurring protein within the blood. The molecule has the ability to block the destructive effect of these enzymes by capturing them in a “trap” when the enzymes cleave the molecule’s amino acid “bait” region. α2M has a unique multimodal mechanism of action: non-specific protease inhibition, gene regulation, as well as cytokine and growth factor modulation.
Alpha2EQ®: Targeting injury at the source
Alpha2EQ is powered by our advanced, patented AlphaActive filtration process. This highly improved process filters plasma proteins from the equine patient’s own blood, removing the harmful proteins that can remain in other autologous plasma products leaving an isolated alpha-2-macroglobulin product.
In just a few simple steps utilizing the AlphaActive filtration process, Alpha2EQ delivers a reliable product to target injury at the source.
