Method of measuring bone resorption rate |
abstract |
Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) has been used as a marker from bone resorption. However, there are two forms of said enzyme in the body: TRAP 5a and TRAP 5b, of which TRAP 5b is a much more specific marker. The present invention is directed to an immunoassay for measuring the bone resorption rate, which methods enables the specific determination of TRAP 5b, whereby the amount of TRAP 5b reflects the bone resorption rate. The method is useful in diagnosing disorders associated with a change in the bone resorption rate, such as osteoporosis. Methods of screening for susceptibility to such disorders, and method of monitoring the effect of treatment are also provided. Further a test-kit useful in said methods is provided. |
