Abstract
The invention discloses a method for measurement of peptidic degradation products of a proteolytic cascade in biological samples, especially blood samples, wherein the sample is incubated until a steady state equilibrium is reached for at least one peptidic degradation product involved in said proteolytic cascade and wherein said at least one peptidic degradation product in steady state equilibrium of the proteolytic cascade is quantified in the sample.
Claims28
A method for measurement of peptidic degradation products of a proteolytic cascade in a biological sample comprising:
- incubating a biological sample ex vivo until a steady state equilibrium is reached for at least one peptidic degradation product involved in a proteolytic cascade;
- and
- quantifying at least one peptidic degradation product in a steady state equilibrium concentration in the sample.
