PREGNANCY INDUCED HYPERTENSION AND ECLAMPSIA IMMUNOASSAY AND REAGENTS

摘要

Preeclampisa, pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and eclampsia are determined by identifying the presence of an endothelial cell marker in a sample of blood, plasma or serum of a pregnant woman using a sandwich or competition immunoassay. Cellular fibronectin marker in a sample is determined by binding with an anti-(cellular fibronectin) antibody. Reagents for these methods are also an aspect of the invention.
