BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: There are currently limited data available summarizing the clinical outcomes and safety of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) in cases of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). The study aimed to assess efficacy and safety of TIPS in patients with advanced CKD.
The aim of this study is to prepare and characterize cardiac troponin T (cTnT) monoclonal antibodies (mAb), and further develop a chemiluminescence quantitative detection assay for cTnT. BALB/c mice were immunized with recombinant cTnT antigen, and specific mAbs were prepared using conventional hybridoma technique and screened by indirect ELISA method. To identify the epitopes, several cTnT peptid...
