MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY FOR THE SELECTIVE IMMUNOLOGICAL DETERMINATION OF INTACT PROCOLLAGEN PEPTIDE (TYPE III) AND PROCOLLAGEN (TYPE III) IN BODY FLUIDS

摘要

It is possible with the aid of a monoclonal antibody which is specifically directed against an epitope of amino-terminal procollagen peptide (type III) which is not present on the fragment col 1, and of a second monoclonal or polyclonal antibody against an epitope of amino-terminal procollagen peptide (type III), to determine the said peptide with great accuracy.
