Nondiagnostic ECGs and unknown characteristic chest pains increase the diIIiculty of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) diagnosis. Biochemical markers, such as creatine kinase MB isoenzymes (CK-MB) and myoglobin, are employed for the early detection of AMI. Compared to myoglobin, CK-MB reveals a higher specific indicator for AMI detection owing to its abundance in cardiac tissue. Hence, a successful CK-MB detection is expected to improve AMI diagnosis and therapy.
A CK-MB detecting ELISA system was set up based on a sandwich assay principle by using specific CK-B and CK-M monoclonal antibodies. The dimeric nature of the CK-MB isoenzyme provides two epitopes on …
