Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides IGFBP7 immunoassays with improved clinical performance, particularly when used in the evaluation of renal injuries. The immunoassays rely on the selection and use of antibodies and antibody pairs that exhibit improved assay performance when used in complex clinical specimens such as biological fluids, and particularly when used in rapid assay formats such as lateral flow test devices.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An isolated antibody comprising a light chain variable region having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9 and a heavy chain variable region having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10. 2. An antibody according to claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody. 3. A nucleic acid, the sequence of which encodes an antibody comprising a light chain variable region having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9 and a heavy chain variable region having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10. 4. An antibody-expressing cell line, the cell line expressing an antibody comprising a light chain variable region having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9 and a heavy chain variable region having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10. 5. An isolated antibody comprising a light chain variable region having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11 and a heavy chain variable region having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12. 6. An antibody according to claim 5 , wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody. 7. A nucleic acid, the sequence of which encodes an antibody comprising a light chain variable region having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11 and a heavy chain variable region having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12. 8. An antibody-expressing cell line, the cell line expressing an antibody comprising a light chain variable region having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11 and a heavy chain variable region having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12.
