Title:
METHOD OF MEASURING INSULIN RECEPTOR &agr SUBUNIT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/097414
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It has been found that free insulin receptor &agr subunits are present in the blood. There is provided a method of measuring insulin receptor &agr subunits, comprising the step of bringing insulin receptor &agr subunits of a blood sample into contact with an antibody capable of recognizing insulin receptor &agr subunits and detecting bonding therebetween. The measuring of free insulin receptor &agr subunits in the blood is useful for estimation of a risk factor of diabetes. Further, it has been clarified by the measuring method that the concentration of free insulin receptor &agr subunits in the blood of patients with diabetes or cancer is significantly high. The free insulin receptor &agr subunits in the blood are useful as a marker for diabetes or cancer.
