Levuglandin (LG) derivatives are used as antigens for raising antibodies useful in diagnostic assays. The antibodies produced by LG-carrier protein adducts can be used to detect adducts of LGE2 with human low density lipoprotein (LDL). LGE2-protein adduct immunoreactivity may be generated during in vitro free-radical oxidation of LDL. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detecting adducts of LGE2 with human LDL is also described. |
