ABSTRACT:
To provide a method of determining vasculopathy, which is a risk factor of myocardial infarction, angiopathic dementia, etc., at an early stage thereof (i.e., mild vasculopathy). The present invention provides a method of determining the severity of mild vasculopathy, including determining PTX3 level in an assay sample by use of an anti-PTX3 monoclonal antibody.
