ANTI-CANINE N-TERMINAL PRO-ATRIAL NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE ANTIBODY, AND IMMUNOLOGICAL MEASUREMENT METHOD AND IMMUNOLOGICALLY MEASURING KIT USING THE SAME

摘要

The anti-canine N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptide antibodies (anti-canine NT-proANP antibodies) according to the present invention comprise anti-canine NT-proANP recognizing a partial portion or a whole portion of the amino acid sequence 31 to 67 of canine NT-proANP and anti-canine NT-proANP recognizing a partial portion or a whole portion of the amino acid sequence 68 to 98 thereof. The anti-canine NT-proANP antibodies are useful for immunologically measuring canine NT-proANP involved in heart diseases and infections of companion animals such as dogs, such as heart failure, mitral valve insufficiency and filariasis. The immunochromatographic assay using the immunochromatographic means such as immunochromatographic strip is extremely convenient and simple for measuring canine NT-proANP and is used as hand-carried and simple devices.
