METHOD AND REAGENTS FOR DETECTING DYSTOCIA

摘要

A method for detecting dystocia by quantitating human ceruloplasmin or activated human ceruloplasmin in a test sample, in particular, by an immunoassay with the use of a specific reaction between human ceruloplasmin or activated human ceruloplasmin and an antibody reacting specifically therewith; and detection reagents containing this antibody. The above detection method and reagents make it possible to conveniently detect the possibility of the onset of dystocia, in particular, premature rupture and fetal asphyxia at the early stage.
