  • Publication number: 20130344520
    Abstract: Substrates for thrombin and assays for determining the level of bioactive thrombin in a sample are disclosed, wherein the substrate has the general formula: A-X—Z-A? wherein one of either A or A? comprises a luminescent chelate and the other one of A or A? comprises a first partner of a binding pair, X forms a tri- or tetra-peptide, and Z comprises a linker.

  • Publication number: 20120264139
    Abstract: This invention concerns a bioaffinity assay for quantitative determination in a sample of free PAPP-A, defined as the pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) that is not complexed to the proform of major basic protein (proMBP), wherein free PAPP-A is determined either i) as a calculated difference between measured total PAPP-A and measured PAPP-A complexed to proMBP, or ii) by a direct bioaffinity assay measuring only free PAPP-A. Furthermore, the invention concerns a method for diagnosing an acute coronary syndrome in a person by using as marker either free PAPP-A as such or a ratio free PAPP-A/total PAPP-A, free PAPP-A/PAPP-A complexed to proMBP, or PAPP-A complexed to proMBP/total PAPP-A.
