COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE DETECTION OF MAMMALIAN MUSCLE TROPONIN I

摘要

Compositions and methods for detecting mammalian muscle proteins and for distinguishing between mammalian muscle proteins and avian muscle proteins in a sample, such as animal feed. The compositions are ligands, such as antibodies and polynucleotides; antigens for the production of ligands; and kits containing the ligands. The methods include assays that employ the ligands for the detection of mammalian muscle proteins. Preferably, the ligands bind with specificity to mammalian troponin I fast twitch or slow twitch skeletal muscle proteins.
