FIELD: medicine, biotechnology.
SUBSTANCE: invention proposes variants of antibodies showing specificity to peptide domain located by both side of hinged site R76S77 in pro-BNP(1-108). Indicated antibodies recognize specifically also circulating pro-BNP(1-108) in human serum or plasma samples but they don't recognize practically peptides BNP(1-76) or BNP(77-108). Also, invention describes variants of peptides used in preparing antibodies. Amino acid sequence is given in the invention description. Also, invention discloses methods for preparing indicated antibodies and among of them by using indicated peptides. Also, invention describes methods for preparing antibody-secreting hybridoma, and hybridoma is disclosed prepared by indicated method. Also, invention describes a monoclonal antibody secreted by hybridoma 3D4 and deposited at number CNCM I-3073. Also, invention discloses variants for diagnosis of cardiac insufficiency in vitro and by using antibodies proposed by the invention. Also, invention describes a set used for detecting pro-BNP(1-108) in a biological sample. Using this invention simplifies detection of pro-BNP(1-108) circulating in human serum or plasma samples and provides specific detection of pro-BNP(1-108) that can be used in early diagnosis of human cardiac insufficiency.
EFFECT: valuable medicinal properties of antibodies.
