ABSTRACT:
Antibodies and methods are described for the detection and quantitation of cardiac specific troponin I in samples. Cardiac-specific troponin isoforms exist in various forms in the blood, including free and complexed forms. By selecting antibodies that are insensitive and/or sensitive to these various forms, the present invention can provide immunoassays that more accurately reflect the clinical state of an individual. These described antibodies and methods can be used for providing indicators of myocardial infarction and other cardiac pathologies.
