Abstract
Peptides which contain epitopes that mimic epitopes of the amino terminal propeptide of .alpha.1 Type I collagen, and antibodies which bind the epitopes, are useful in monitoring bone formation. Assays which employ the peptides and antibodies thereto are particularly useful in diagnosing and monitoring bone related disorders, such as osteoporosis and Paget's disease, among others.
