5.9 kDa PEPTIDE IMMUNOASSAY METHOD

摘要

Disclosed is an immunoassay method whereby a 5.9 kDa peptide which results from the degradation of the α-E chain and α chain of human fibrinogens and which is used as a peptide marker for diagnosing hepatic disease can be specifically assayed in a biological sample containing contaminating peptides by bringing antibodies that recognize the N terminal of said peptide marker and antibodies that recognize the C terminal of said peptide marker into contact with said peptide marker, forming immune complexes of said peptide marker and the two antibodies, and immunoassaying the obtained immune complexes.
