Abstract
A monoclonal antibody having high affinity to human cardiac myoglobin, which has undergone a conformational change resulting from the binding of the molecule to another molecule is described. This monoclonal antibody can be used in a rapid format double antibody immunoassay system to identify blood, serum or plasma levels of cardiac myoglobin. Such an immunoassay system can be used for diagnosing and quantifying myocardial necrosis and infarction.
