ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a novel method and kit for detecting and measuring pleiotrophin in samples and diagnosing pleiotrophin-positive diseases. The method involves incubating a sample suspected of containing PTN with anti-PTN antibodies and determining the presence of PTN using a sandwich ELISA. Also methods for treating a pleiotrophin-positive disease by administering an anti-PTN antibody or fragment thereof are provided.
