laboratory method of human cardiac troponin T quatitative detection?

Answer 1

Assay systems and specialized antibodies for the detection and quantitation of troponin I and troponin T in body fluids as an indicator of myocardial infarction. Since troponin I and T exist in various conformations in the blood, the ratios of the monomeric troponin I an T and the binary and ternary complexes, as well as which form of troponin present in the blood, may be related to the metabolic state of the heart. Disclosed is a system to determine the presence of a troponin form or a group of troponin forms in a sample of whole blood, serum or plasma. Disclosed is a stabilized composition of troponin; the stabilized composition can comprise a stabilized composition of troponin I, wherein the troponin I is oxidized, the troponin I can be unbound or the troponin I can be in a complex. Disclosed is a method for improving the recovery of troponin I or T from a surface used in immunoassays. Also disclosed are antibodies which recognize, unbound troponin forms, the forms of troponin in binary complexes, the ternary complex of troponin I, T and C, and the conformations of troponin I having intramolecularly oxidized and reduced cysteines.

Answer 2

I am not sure what you are asking about troponins but I do know that when a patient arrives with chest pain the er docs want a troponin result in less than an hour. :)

Answer 3

To put it simply, yes. This cardiac marker follows a certain trend, meaning that the enzyme will be elevated at certain times during the MI, for more info you should google the trend or seek it out on pubmed.
