The disclosure concerns methods for the detection of an analyte in a sample by electro-chemiluminescence using new reagent compositions. New reagent compositions, reagent kits for measuring electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and electrochemiluminescence detection methods using the new reagent compositions are disclosed. In particular, the disclosure relates to the use of novel combinations of compounds which can be used in said measurements to provide improved assay performance.

Branched-chain amines in electrochemiluminescence detection

An in vitro method is disclosed for detecting an antibody to p53 (anti-p53 antibody) in a sample, the method comprising: incubating a sample to be analyzed with a p53 capture antigen and a p53 detection antigen, whereby a complex comprising the p53 capture antigen, the anti-p53 antibody and the p53 detection antigen is formed, separating the complex formed from unbound detection antigen and measuring the complex obtained via the detection antigen comprised therein, thereby detecting the anti-p53 antibody comprised in the sample.

A method for predicting the risk of recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation in a subject based on measuring the amount of the biomarker Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and optionally of at least one further biomarker in a sample from the subject is described. Also described is a method of diagnosing Atrial Fibrillation in a subject suspected to suffer from Atrial Fibrillation based on measuring the amount of the biomarker Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and optionally of at least one further biomarker in a sample from the subject. Also described are devices adapted to carry out the method of the present disclosure.

The present invention relates to the assessment of lung cancer. It discloses the use of protein ASC in the assessment of lung cancer. It also relates to a method for assessing lung cancer in vitro using a liquid sample, derived from an individual by measuring ASC in the sample. Measurement of ASC can, e.g., be used in the early detection or in the follow-up of patients with lung cancer.

Described is a method aiding in the assessment of rheumatoid arthritis ('RA'). The method is used in assessing RA in vitro. It is practiced by analyzing biochemical markers, including measuring the concentration of anti-CCP and anti-PIK 3CD and correlating the concentrations determined to the absence or presence of RA. Also disclosed is the use of a marker panel including anti-CCP and anti-PIK3CD in the diagnosis of RA and it teaches a kit for performing the method. Also described is the use of a marker panel comprising anti-CCP and anti-PIK3CD to differentiate RA from other autoimmune diseases, preferably osteoarthritis (OA).
