COLLAGEN-PEPTIDE ASSAY METHOD
The invention includes a method of determining the level of Type I collagen fragments in a biological fluid using an antibody which is immunospecific for an epitope contained in one of the following sequences: (1) Ala-Hyp-Gly-Asp-Arg-Gly-Glu-Hyp-Gly-Pro-Hyp-Gly-Pro-Ala, or (2) Gly-Asn-Ser-Gly-Glu-Hy...

Summary: | The invention includes a method of determining the level of Type I collagen fragments in a biological fluid using an antibody which is immunospecific for an epitope contained in one of the following sequences: (1) Ala-Hyp-Gly-Asp-Arg-Gly-Glu-Hyp-Gly-Pro-Hyp-Gly-Pro-Ala, or (2) Gly-Asn-Ser-Gly-Glu-Hyp-Gly-Ala-Hyp. under conditions effective to allow determination of the level of collagen fragments in the sample which contain the epitope. The method is useful for assessing the level of bone collagen degradation, particularly in humans. Also disclosed are antibodies and kits which can be used in the method. |
