  • Publication number: 20110263436
    Abstract: Recombinant antibodies, including chimeric antibodies, specific for hepatitis C (HCV) antigenic proteins are provided. The recombinant antibodies specifically bind to diagnostically relevant regions of HCV proteins and are thus suitable for use, for example, as diagnostic reagents for the detection of HCV, and/or as standardization reagents or positive control reagents in assays for the detection of HCV. The recombinant antibodies can also be used in the treatment or prevention of a HCV infection.

  • Publication number: 20010051347
    Abstract: The present invention provides monoclonal antibodies specific for kringle 5 of apo(a) and hybridomas secreting such antibodies. The invention also relates to assay methods for directly measuring concentrations of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] in a plasma sample. In one embodiment, the method involves the specific capture of Lp(a) from a plasma sample with a monoclonal antibody developed against kringle 5 of apo(a), which is non-cross-reactive with plasminogen and kringle 4 of apo(a). The quantity of the Lp(a) present in the sample is then measured by detecting the amount of Lp(a)-anti-kringle 5 complex that has formed in the reaction. Alternatively, the Lp(a) may be captured non-specifically and then detected with the monoclonal antibody specific for kringle 5 of apo(a). The invention also provides competitive assays using the above-mentioned kringle 5 specific monoclonal antibodies.
