Patent Searching and Data


Title:
MEASUREMENT OF GLYCATED HEMOGLOBIN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999022242
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention features a novel method of assaying glycated hemoglobin (GHb) in a sample using a capture molecule e.g. haptoglobin that binds GHb and hemoglobin (Hb), and detecting bound GHb with a molecule that distinguishes GHb from non-glycated hemoglobin (Hb). The molecule used to distinguish GHb from Hb may be an antibody. The assay and antibodies of the invention are useful for the evaluation of GHb in disease states such as diabetes.
