  • Methods, Kits and Materials for Diagnosing Disease States by Measuring Isoforms or Proforms of Myeloperoxidase
    Publication number: 20080171344
    Abstract: There exists a need in the art for diagnosing specific disease states through measuring a concentration myeloperoxidase (MPO) isoform and/or proform or a combination thereof in a test sample. The claimed method provides a high specificity assay that has improved diagnostic specificity and improved sensitivity in that it reduces detection of normal MPO present in the sample. Antibodies and kits for performing the described method are further described.
