摘要:
The invention concerns monoclonal antibodies against a complex of human ACT and a serine protease, preferably against a ACT-PSA, which have essentially no cross-reactivity with free, non-complexed human ACT and with free, non-complexed PSA, as well as diagnostic test methods for detecting serine protease-ACT complexes, in particular PSA-ACT, using these monoclonal antibodies.

The invention concerns human monoclonal antibodies of the IgG isotype against human pancreatic islet cells which can be obtained by immortalizing human lymphocytes of prediabetics or diabetics, treating the culture supernatant of the immortalized cells with a conjugate of antibodies against human Fc .gamma. and a label, subsequently treating with human immunoglobulin, incubating with immobilized human pancreatic islet cells identifying an immortalized human cell culture which produces an antibody against pancreatic islet cells via determination of the label bound to the immobilized islet cells, isolating a human immortalized cell which produces this antibody, propagating this immortalized cell and isolating the monoclonal antibody produced by these cells.The invention also concerns a process for the isolation of an islet cell antigen to which such antibodies bind as well as a method for the determination of antibodies against an islet cell antigen of the pancreas.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing myocardial infarction in a subject who suffers from acute coronary syndrome and has a cardiac troponin level, which is detectable, but lower than the level that is considered as being indicative for a myocardial infarction. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for identifying a subject being susceptible to cardiac intervention, wherein the subject suffers from acute coronary syndrome and has a cardiac troponin level which is detectable, but lower than a level that is considered as being indicative for a myocardial infarction. The methods of the present invention are based on the determination of myoglobin and, optionally, Heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) in a sample of said subject and comparing the amount of myoglobin and, optionally, H-FABP to reference amounts. Also comprised by the present invention are kits or devices to carry out the methods of the present invention.

Disclosed is a method for diagnosing myocardial infarction in a subject who suffers from acute coronary syndrome and has a cardiac troponin level, which is detectable, but lower than the level that is considered as being indicative for a myocardial infarction. Also disclosed is a method for identifying a subject being susceptible to cardiac intervention, wherein the subject suffers from acute coronary syndrome and has a cardiac troponin level which is detectable, but lower than a level that is considered as being indicative for a myocardial infarction. These methods are based on the determination of myoglobin and, optionally, Heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) in a sample of the subject and comparing the amount of myoglobin and, optionally, H-FABP to reference amounts. Also disclosed are kits or devices to carry out the methods.
摘要:
The present invention provides a process for the determination of an antibody in human body fluids according to the immunoassay principle in which a sample containing the antibody to be determined is incubated with at least two different receptors R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, of which one receptor R.sub.1 carries an antigenic determinant specific for the antibody to be determined and one receptor R.sub.2 carries a label to form bound and unbound label, the part which contains the bound label is separated from the part which contains the unbound label and the label is measured in one of the two parts, wherein, for the control, instead of the sample, there is used a standard solution which contains a conjugate of a bindable non-human antibody or a Fab or F(ab').sub.2 fragment thereof which non-human component binds with a receptor R.sub.s which also binds to the antibody to be determined, and a human immunoglobulin or the Fc part thereof. The present invention also provides a control reagent for the determination of an antibody in human body fluids according to the immunoassay principle, containing a conjugate of an antibody bindable with the receptor R.sub.s specific for the antibody to be determined or a Fab or F(ab').sub.2 fragment thereof with a human immunoglobulin or the Fc part thereof, and said receptor.
