摘要 |
Provided is a modified antibody which enables the quantitative measurement of the amount of a heparin/PF4 complex, an onset factor of heparin-induced trombocytopenia (HIT), without the influence of the presence of PF4, and which can be used as an HIT antibody standard specific for the heparin/PF4 complex. The modified antibody is prepared by linking a human IgG, or an antibody fragment derived from a human IgG, to a monoclonal antibody obtained by immunizing an animal (excluding a human) with the heparin/PF4 complex. |
