Urinary neopterin, a non-invasive marker of mammalian cellular immune activation, is highly stable under field conditions

Studying immunity and immune function in ecology and evolution requires field studies, but there has been a dearth of non-invasive markers of immune activation available for studying large wild mammals. Recently, we analytically and biologically validated the measurement of urinary neopterin (NEO),...
