Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2344762A1] The present invention relates to rapid methods for the detection of ischemic states and to kits for use in such methods. Provided for is a rapid method o f testing for and quantifying ischemia based upon methods of detecting and quantifying the existence of an alteration of the serum protein albumin whic h occurs following an ischemic event; methods for detecting and quantifying th is alteration include evaluating and quantifying the cobalt binding capacity of circulating albumin, analysis and measurement of the ability of serum albumi n to bind exogenous cobalt, detection and measurement of the presence of endogenous copper in a purified albumin sample and use of an immunological assay specific to the altered form of serum albumin which occurs following a n ischemic event. Also taught by the present invention is the detection and measurement of an ischemic event by measuring albumin N-terminal derivatives that arise following an ischemic event, including truncated albumin species lacking one to four N-terminal amino acids or albumin with an acetylated N- terminal Asp residue.
