Abstract

See full text

The subject of the present invention is to provide a useful antibody for measuring ADAMTS13 activity, in particular, a monoclonal antibody and a method for measuring ADAMTS13 activity. Further, another subject of the present invention also is to provide a monoclonal antibody which has specific reactivity to an antigenic determinant site produced by reacting ADAMTS13 with VWF that is a substrate or a partial peptide of VWF that is a potential substrate, but has no specific reactivity to the complete VWF molecule, and a use of the antibody of interest. Those subjects were achieved by succeeding in obtaining a monoclonal antibody (anti-N-10 monoclonal antibody) which has specific reactivity to a cleavage site that is cleavable by ADAMTS13 in the partial peptide of VWF, and further by finding a method for measuring ADAMTS13 activity using the monoclonal antibody of interest.
