Abstract
The invention provides a method for detecting the presence of ARD 1 protein in a sample. The method includes the steps of providing labeled or immobilized anti-ARD 1 antibody in a reaction zone, introducing sample into the reaction zone such that ARD 1 protein in the sample, if present, will react with said antibody to form an immunological complex, and detecting the formation of said immunological complex. Cells, nucleotide and amino acid sequences and vectors associated with ARD 1 are also described.
Claims3
An ARD 1 protein composition, comprising an isolated polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2.
An immunoassay kit, comprising:
- a polypeptide reagent comprising a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2;
- a reaction unit including a reaction zone in which the polypeptide reagent can interact with antibodies, if any, having a binding affinity for said polypeptide to form an immunological complex;
- and
- means for detecting the reaction or lack of reaction of said polypeptide with said antibodies.
