Immunodiagnostics

Immunodiagnostics uses the ability of antibodies to specifically bind to an antigen of interest. This sensitive, specific and time-saving methodology plays a vital role in understanding and diagnosing disease. From infectious diseases and cancers to metabolic disorders and cardiac health, immunodiagnostics provides highly sensitive insights into a wide range of conditions, enabling the development of targeted treatments and therapies.

This handbook is intended for both students and experienced practitioners in the protein research field who have an interest in “getting it right from the start.” Gain a deep background understanding and feel for important considerations in the design process of sample preparation operations, sample types and preparation techniques. Representative protocols are presented in a step-by-step summary format.

High-sensitivity cardiac troponins I (hs-cTnI) has been endorsed as a standard biomarker for diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and can provide information for risk stratification. This study focused on the development of a quantum-dot-labeled magnetic immunoassay for the hs-cTnI detection.
