Epitope characterization of an anti-PIVKA-II antibody and evaluation of a fully automated chemiluminescent immunoassay for PIVKA-II

Abstract

The results demonstrate that this anti-PIVKA-II antibody detects equivalent epitopes with MU-3 and has equivalent reactivity to PIVKA-II as MU-3. Moreover, the ARCHITECT PIVKA-II assay has good correlation with the existing PIVKA-II product, and is applicable for use with RST.
