A method for generating antibodies preferable to either a normal protein and a mutated form of the normal protein, respectively, where a mutation associated with the mutated form includes either a single point mutation or a small number of point mutations where the method includes creating first and second antigenic peptides of a predetermined length corresponding respectively to common regions of the normal target protein and the mutated form, where the common regions are identical to one another except for the point mutation of the mutated form, obtaining first and second antibodies by multiplying the first and second antigenic peptides via hybridoma methods, and identifying the respective affinities of the first and second antibodies for the normal target protein and the mutated form. Also included are methods of using the first and second antibodies to detect and quantify respective amounts of a normal target protein and a mutated form of the target protein. Also included are immunological sensors the include the first and second antibodies for determining the presence and quantity of normal target proteins and mutant forms of the normal target proteins.
A method for generating antibodies preferable to either a normal protein and a mutated form of the normal protein, respectively, where a mutation associated with the mutated form includes a single point mutation, said method comprising:
A method of determining the presence and quantity of FVL and FVN in a sample comprising:
An immunological sensor for determining the presence and quantity of FVL and FVN in a sample comprising:
