  • IMMUNOASSAY METHOD FOR FREE AIM IN BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE
    Publication number: 20220146529
    Abstract: A problem to be solved is to detect only free AIM in a biological sample containing complex AIM and free AIM. The problem can be solved by an immunoassay method for free AIM in a biological sample using an anti-AIM monoclonal antibody having a property of reacting with free AIM and not reacting with complex AIM, wherein the anti-AIM monoclonal antibody is an antibody binding to an epitope in the SRCR2 domain of human AIM.

  • IMMUNOASSAY METHOD FOR FREE AIM IN BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE, AND METHOD FOR DETECTING NASH IN SUBJECT
    Publication number: 20220120762
    Abstract: A problem to be solved is to further improve the specificity for free AIM of an antibody specifically reacting with free AIM and to diagnose NASH without imposing a burden on patients and medical staffs. The problem can be solved by an immunoassay method for free AIM in a biological sample containing complex AIM and free AIM, and the method comprises bringing the biological sample into contact with an antibody specifically reacting with free AIM in a presence of an anti-IgM antibody.
