Abstract
A method for determining the amount of NT-proBNP in blood samples from animals. The method includes detecting degradation products of NT-proBNP by various methods, including using antibodies, kits and device.
Claims15
A method for determining an amount of N-terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) in a sample from a canine, comprising determining an amount of a polypeptide consisting of GRSPASEASEASEASGLWAVQ (SEQ ID NO:
- 22) in the sample, and correlating the amount of the polypeptide in the sample to the amount of NT-proBNP in the sample.
A method for determining a presence or an amount of canine N-terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) in a biological sample comprising detecting a degradation product of NT-proBNP in the sample, wherein the degradation product consists of SEQ ID NO:
- 22.
