NOVEL MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY AND METHOD OF IMMUNOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF e-D DIMER AND e-DD/E COMPLEX

摘要

A monoclonal antibody which specifically reacts with D-monomer produced by digesting human fibrinogen with granulocyte elastase and D-domain containing digestion products produced by digesting human stabilized fibrin with granulocyte elastase, but does not react with fibrinogen, or fragment X, Y or E produced by digesting fibrinogen with granulocyte elastase is disclosed. The D-dimer or DD/E complex produced by digestion with granulocyte elastase in a sample from a living body can be analyzed without being interferred with fibrinogen, digestion products of fibrinogen with plasmin, or digestion products of stabilized fibrin with plasmin, using the monoclonal antibody.
