摘要:
An assay for citrullinated fragments of SOCS-2, Alpha 1 anti tyrpsin, versican, biglycan, laminin, or other protein having a terminal antibody binding site comprising citrulline in a blood derived sample shows diagnostic relevance in relation to rheumatoid arthritis or fibrotic disease.
摘要:
A bioassay for the quantification of peptide fragments comprising a neo-epitope formed by cleavage of a titin protein by a proteinase comprises contacting a sample with an antibody specifically binding said neo-epitope and determining the level of binding. Partial sequences of titin that may be detected include: 13519′ ↓GEYVCDCGTD ′13528 13532′ NVTVEARLIK↓ ′13542 13543′ ↓VEKPLYGVEV ′1553
