摘要:
The invention relates to a method for identifying feline or canine proBNP or fragments thereof, which comprises the following steps: providing a feline or canine sample, contacting the sample with at least one antibody which binds, when feline proBNP or fragments thereof are identified, to at least one epitope in the area comprising amino acids 20 to 42 and/or in the area comprising amino acids 57 to 80 of the feline proBNP, and which binds, when canine proBNP or fragments thereof are identified, to at least one epitope in the area comprising amino acids 20 to 68 of the canine proBNP, and identifying the presence and/or concentration of the feline or canine proBNP or fragments thereof in the sample.

Provided are methods for predicting survival outcome of an individual suffering from congestive heart failure. In accordance with the method, a patient's survival outcome is determined by taking into consideration the levels of two markers in combination, the combination being more predictive of survival than either marker alone. The markers include endothelin, atrial natriurctic peptide and brain natriurctic peptide, their precursors and fragments thereof. Individuals with congestive heart failure identified as having increased risk of mortality using the methods of the invention are appropriately targeted for more aggressive therapy.

The invention describes a method for diagnosing of septic complications in patients by determining the level of the C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), its precursors or fragments thereof, especially the precursor of the C-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proCNP), in this patient and diagnosing the patient a having septic complications or being at risk of developing septic complications, if the level of CNP, its precursors or fragments thereof, especially NT-proCNP, is increased compared to normal levels.

The invention describes a method for diagnosing of septic complications in polytraumatised human or animal patients, said patients being free of traumatic brain injury, by determining the level of the C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), its precursors or fragments thereof, especially the precursor of the C-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proCNP), in this patient and diagnosing the patient a having septic complications or being at risk of developing septic complications, if the level of CNP, its precursors or fragments thereof, especially NT-proCNP, is increased compared to normal levels.

The invention relates to a method of determining equine NT-proBNP, or fragments thereof, comprising the steps of : providing an equine sample, contacting the sample with at least one antibody which specifically binds to equine NT-proBNP, and determining the presence and/or concentration of the equine NT-proBNP or fragments thereof existing in the sample.
