Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An assay for identifying an individual having or at risk of developing vascular calcification, said assay comprising obtaining a blood sample from an individual and measuring the level of a vesicular compound in a matrix vesicle present in the blood sample from said individual; wherein an increased level of said compound indicates an individual at risk of developing vascular calcification.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An assay for identifying an individual having or at risk of developing vascular calcification, said assay comprising the steps of: obtaining a blood sample from said individual; isolating vascular smooth muscle cell-derived matrix vesicles from the blood sample using antibodies directed to a vascular smooth muscle cell membrane-associated protein; measuring the level of a vesicular compound associated with the vascular smooth muscle cell-derived ma…
