METHOD OF ASSAYING ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID ANTIBODY AND KIT THEREFOR

摘要

In a method for assaying an antiphospholipid antibody in a sample utilizing .beta.2-glycoprotein I, a polypeptide having the same amino acid sequence as domain IV of .beta.2-glycoprotein I or a polypeptide partially different therefrom but functionally equivalent thereto is used in place of .beta.2-glycoprotein I itself. According to this method, an autoantibody from patients with antiphospholipid syndrome can be accurately assayed in a simple manner.
