β2 microglobulin and its gene, anti-β2 microglobulin antibody, and kit for diagnosis and diagnosis of feline nephropathy

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an antibody that is specific to 2 microglobulin derived from cats, and further a method and kit capable of quickly and simply diagnosing cat nephropathy by using the same. PSOLUTION: There are disclosed a protein having a specific amino acid sequence and a structural gene encoding the protein, wherein the structural gene has a specific base sequence. There is disclosed an antibody capable of specifically binding to 2 microglobulin derived from cats, wherein the antibody is preferably produced by a cell line Mouse-Mouse hybridoma SB2/SB-m mAb1 (Receipt Number: FERM AP-21879), or a cell line Mouse-Mouse hybridoma SB2/SB-m mAb2 (Receipt Number: FERM AP-21880) using the protein as an antigen. There are disclosed a kit for diagnosing cat nephropathy including the antibody, and a method for diagnosing cat nephropathy using the antibody. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
