摘要:
The present invention relates to a freeze-dried conjugate structure for immunochromatography, an immunoassay kit comprising the freeze-dried conjugate structure and an immunochromatographic strip, and a method for qualitatively or quantitatively analyzing an analyte in a sample using the immunoassay kit. Because a sample is subjected to immunochromatography after reacting uniformly with a freeze-dried conjugate structure separately prepared according to the present invention externally, quantitative analysis can be performed with high reproducibility and linearity depending on a concentration compared to a conventional assay method which is performed using an immunochromatographic strip comprising a conjugate pad prepared by adsorbing a conjugate. In addition, the freeze-dried conjugate structure of the present invention can be provided in a state in which it is received in a chamber additionally comprising a cap. Thus, it can be stored without contamination and is easy to carry. In addition, the freeze-dried conjugate structure can be rapidly and uniformly dissolved so that it is immediately allowed to react with a mixture of a buffer and a sample and the reaction product can be analyzed by an immunoassay kit. Thus, it is suitable for use in point-of-care testing.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for determining or approximating a patient's daily loss of iron (fe_loss), the method comprising the steps determining the patient's iron uptake (fe_uptake); determining the quantity of iron stored within the patient's body; and determining the patient's daily loss of iron based on the patient's iron uptake (fe_uptake) and the quantity of non-functional iron stored within the patient's body. The method relates further to apparatuses and an erythropoesis stimulating medicament for use in the treatment of anaemia. Finally the present invention relates to digital storage means, a computer program product, and a computer program.
摘要:
In certain aspects, the present invention provides methods for dosing a patient with an activin-ActRIIa antagonist and methods for managing patients treated with an activin-ActRIIa anatagonist. In certain aspects, the methods involve measuring one or more hematologic parameters in a patient.
摘要:
New diagnostic parameters or indexes for detection of absolute iron deficiency, latent iron deficiency, functional iron deficiency, or latent functional iron deficiency have been disclosed. The parameters include a RBC size factor, RSfi defined by the formula of (MCV x MRV)1/2, or RSf2 defined by the formula of (MCV x MRV)/100, a volume-hemoglobin factor (VHf) defined by the formula of (MCV x Hgb)/100, and a volume-hemoglobin/distribution factor (VHDWf) defined by the formula of (MCV x Hgb)/(RDW x 10). Further disclosed are the methods of using these parameters for detection of absolute iron deficiency, latent iron deficiency, functional iron deficiency, or latent functional iron deficiency. Also disclosed is a method of using RSf for detection of hemochromatosis.

摘要:
References, i.e. , solutions of known concentration for use as controls, calibrators, or standards, for assays of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin in bodily fluids are obtained from units of bodily fluids from normal healthy individuals by digesting the transferrin in these units with exogenous neuraminidase to achieve concentrated CDT solutions, which are then added in preselected proportions to a base matrix to achieve target concentrations.
摘要:
The invention concerns a method for detecting disorders of iron metabolism and in particular the differential diagnosis of disorders of iron metabolism by means of three independent parameters. The differential diagnosis can be used to classify disorders of iron metabolism and to recommend the required treatment and to monitor the progress and response to treatment.
