Analytical and clinical evaluation of a rapid quantitative lateral flow immunoassay for measurement of soluble ST2 in human plasma

摘要

Background: Soluble ST2 (sST2) is gaining growing interest as a biomarker in heart failure. So far, the ELISA-format is widely used for commercially available ST2 assays, which hampers their use in clinical routine. Recently, a rapid quantitative lateral flow immunoassay for the measurement of sST2 in human plasma has been developed.
