Troponin I is released in bloodstream of patients with acute myocardial infarction not in free form but as complex

Abstract: Fourteen monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against human cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were generated by commonly used experimental techniques. All these antibodies, as well as antibody 414 (HyTest), were specific for human cTnI. Fifteen antibodies thus obtained were tested in a sandwich cTnI immunofluorescence assay (altogether 196 combinations). Ten pairs giving the highest sensitivity were selected for further investigation. The effect of TnI–TnC complex formation on antibody interaction with antigen was analyzed. T… Show more

“…In humans, the majority (497%) of cTnI released is complexed with TnC after myocardial infarction. 33,34 Free cTnI has a very short half life after release (approximately 5 min) and occurs only in small quantities in circulation. 35 Other minor fractions of released troponins are the TnI-TnT binary complex and the TnI-TnC-TnT ternary complex.…”

“…In addition to that, our SPFS results clearly indicate that the nonspecific binding in case of the polyclonal a-TNNI3 antibody is much higher (Figure 3b), therefore we chose to develop the competitive assay using the monoclonal a-TNNI3. Given that cTnI is released into the circulation of patients of AMI predominantly in its complex form, it is crucial to use antibodies which can recognize, not only free cTnI but also cTnI complexed with other cTn subunits [31], monoloclonals would be more advantageous in that regard.…”

“…would mimic the composition of cTnI forms released into the circulation after myocardial damage [69]. Unfortunately, attempts to produce such a reference material have failed so far, and there has been no standardisation or harmonisation of cTnI assays [70].…”
