Abstract: The invention relates to surfactant-free reagent spheres useful for biological tests particularly those involving antigen/antibody reactions.
Abstract: A monoclonal antibody having high affinity to the cardiac isoform of human myosin light chains is described. The monoclonal antibody is prepared against a synthetic peptide from the amino terminal end of myosin light chain-1. The monoclonal antibody can be used as a reagent in an immunoassay system to identify blood, serum or plasma levels of myosin light chains. Such an immunoassay system can be used for diagnosing and quantifying myocardial necrosis and infarction.
