MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY FOR THE SELECTIVE IMMUNOLOGICAL DETERMINATION OF INTACT PROCOLLAGEN PEPTIDE (TYPE III) AND PROCOLLAGEN (TYPE III) IN BODY FLUIDS

摘要

It is possible with the aid of a monoclonal antibodywhich is specifically directed against an epitope ofamino-terminal procollagen peptide (type III) which isnot present on the fragment col 1, and of a secondmonoclonal or polyclonal antibody against an epitope ofamino-terminal procollagen peptide (type III), to deter-mine the said peptide with great accuracy.
