摘要:
Disclosed herein is a lateral flow immuno-assay system capable of rapidly, cost effectively, and quantitatively detecting and assessing the level of HIT antibodies in body fluids of a patient. Also taught are methods for employing the system to assist in diagnosis of HIT, and for screening or detecting a changing titer of HIT antibodies in the body fluids of a patient to determine susceptibility toward HIT.

Novel, sensitive and specific markers and methods for diagnostics and monitoring of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are provided. Kits and methods for the use of hyaluronic acid, hyaluronidase and CD44 to diagnose HNSCC are described.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a system for measuring the biological activity of chemoattractants comprising at least two units separated by a semipermeable carrier wherein biologically active carbohydrate structures, preferably glycosaminoglycan (GAG) structures, are immobilized on the surface of said carrier. According to the invention, this system can be used for fast and economic measurement of the degree of cell mobility and chemotactic activity.

An antibody which can react with N-acetylheparosan and heparan sulfate derived from bovine kidney but cannot substantially react with heparan sulfate derived from a murine Engelbreath-Holm-Swarn tumor tissue, the antibody being produced with a hybridoma which is prepared using a substance composed of a protein and N-acetylheparosan bound to the protein.

It is intended to provide a method of assaying hyaluronic acid by using a support which suffers from little sedimentation of the support, is excellent in storage stability and shows such a high accuracy as being comparable with the existing reagents; and a reagent kit. Namely, a method of assaying hyaluronic acid characterized by comprising contacting hyaluronic acid in a sample with HABP to form a hyaluronic acid/HABP complex, then reacting the complex with a support carrying an anti-HABP antibody, measuring an optical change caused by an aggregate formed by the above reaction and calculating the amount of hyaluronic acid based on the measurement data; and a reagent kit for assaying hyaluronic acid which comprises a reagent containing HABP and a support carrying an anti-HABO antibody.

Methods for determining the presence of heparin/platelet factor 4 antibodies in a sample suspected to contain heparin/platelet factor 4 antibodies are provided, along with apparatus suitable for performing the methods. The method depends upon a color visualization indicating the presence or absence of heparin/platelet factor 4 antibodies in the sample. Preferred methods comprise contacting the sample with particles being complexed to platelet factor 4 (PF4) and which particle-complexed PF4 reacts specifically with heparin/platelet factor 4 antibodies, passing the sample/particle mixture through a filter, and then analyzing the color of the filtrate. The presence of heparin/platelet factor 4 antibodies in the sample is established where the color of the filtrate is substantially different from the color of the receptor-bearing particles.
摘要:
Die vorliegende Erfindung liegt auf dem Gebiet der Gerinnungsdiagnostik und betrifft ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Heparinaktivität in einer Probe, wobei die Probe zunächst mit einer Heparin-modifizierenden Komponente wie zum Beispiel Heparinase, inkubiert wird und anschließend die Heparin-abhängige FXa-Inaktivierung gemessen wird.
