Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is an immunoassay method whereby a 5.9 kDa peptide which results from the degradation of the α-E chain and α chain of human fibrinogens and which is used as a peptide marker for diagnosing hepatic disease can be specifically assayed in a biological sample containing contaminating peptides by bringing antibodies that recognize the N terminal of said peptide marker and antibodies that recognize the C terminal of said peptide marker into contact with said peptide marker, forming immune complexes of said peptide marker and the two antibodies, and immunoassaying the obtained immune complexes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of immunoassay for a peptide consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1, comprising: contacting a sample suspected of containing a mixture of peptides comprising the peptide consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 and a peptide consisting of SEQ ID NO:4 fused to SEQ ID NO: 1, at the N-terminus of SEQ ID NO: 1, with an antibody or antibody fragment thereof recognizing the epitope of 1st to 17th amino acids of SEQ ID NO: 1 in the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1, and with an antibod…
