Description

The detection of aggrecan and fragment thereof or quantitative
The present invention relates to adopt the antibody of identification G2 domain or the determination method of the detection of other immunologic opsonin binding partners and/or quantitative aggrecan (Aggrecan) and fragment thereof.
Aggrecan is the principal ingredient of articular cartilage by cartilage cell synthetic (Archer and Francis, 2003), in articular cartilage with II Collagen Type VI and other substrate molecule systematisms (Hardingham and Fosang, 1995).
Aggrecan is a high glycosylation, comprises more than 2000 amino acid residue.Aggrecan structurally has three independent structures territory: G1, G2 and G3 (figure A).Have between G2 and the G3 domain-and between G1 and G2 domain, having-grow section high glycosylation zone than low degree ground, electronegative chondroitin sulfate and keratan sulfate oligosaccharide structure (Hardingham and Fosang, 1995) are contained in this zone.
The feature of osteoarthritis is the irreversible destruction of articular cartilage.The cartilage cell can comprise aggrecan by synthetic new matrix components, attempts to repair cartilage people such as (, 2000) Garnero of degeneration.
Need to provide the biochemical marker of cartilage metabolism procedural information.Biochemical marker is existing to be described, and to the also existing report of the mensuration of aggrecan and fragment thereof.
The antibody (IBEX PharmaceuticalsInc.) of the chondroitin sulfate side chain that identification combines with amino acid 846 between aggrecan molecule G2 and the G3 domain is adopted in CS 846 test.FA-846 sandwich immunoassay method also has report, and this method is to be used for improving one's methods of the quantitative CS of embryo's aggrecan 846 detections.
Also developed some other aggrecan detection method, and for example " aggrecan proteoglycans (Aggrecan Proteoglycan) " (Biosource, US).Yet the specificity of these antibody still awaits determining.
Other aggrecan determination method is the glycosaminoglycan zone at aggrecan, i.e. (Kongtawelert and Ghosh 1990 between G2 and the G3 domain; People such as Ratcliffe, 1993).
