Abstract: The present disclosure provides an antibody specifically targeting cardiac troponin I. The present disclosure further provides antibody pairs and kits comprising the antibodies. The present disclosure further provides the use of these antibodies to detect levels of cardiac troponin I, and to diagnose myocardial injury.

Abstract: The present invention describes the method for determining the risk of future major adverse cardiovascular events, which comprises detection proteolytic fragments of IGFBP-4 or IGFBP-5 (insulin-like growth factor binding protein 4 or insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5) in patients' blood. The present invention provides antibodies and immunoas-says, suitable for specific measurement of proteolytic fragments of IGFBPs. In current invention the IGFBP fragments are suggested to be utilized as blood biomarkers for the risk prediction of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for detecting IGFBP-4 (Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-4) fragments. The method uses antibodies or antigen binding fragments that specifically recognize epitopes on IGFBP-4 fragments. The IGFBP-4 fragments include the N-terminal and C-terminal fragments resulting from PAPP-A dependent cleavage of IGFBP-4. Assay and diagnostic methods using detection of IGFBP-4 fragments are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing a cardiovascular or cancer disease by detecting IGFBP-4 (Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-4) fragments in a patient sample. Antibodies specifically recognizing novel epitopes originated by enzyme-dependent cleavage of IGFBP-4 are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides antibodies against glycosylated proBNP and NT-proBNP. The antibodies are suitable for precise immunodetection of both of the proteins in human blood. The glycosylated forms of proBNP and NT-proBNP may be utilized as an antigen for antibody generation as well as a calibrator or immunological standard in different types of immunoassays. The invention thus also relates to a stable standard or calibrator pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (proBNP) preparation for use in a method for detecting BNP immunoreactivity in a sample, the preparation comprising glycosylated proBNP or a fragment thereof. In addition, the present invention is directed to an assay for precisely detecting the NT-proBNP circulating in a patient's blood, wherein the level of glycosylation of the proBNP molecule is exploited. Therapeutic applications are also contemplated.
