Abstract
The invention provides an anti-EDA monoclonal antibody which recognizes an amino acid sequence portion in the EDA region of fibronectin (FN). The antibody of the invention has specific reactivity against EDA, in particular EDA-FN. By utilizing it, a simple and easy, high-sensitivity and high-precision immunoassay method for EDA-FN as well as a screening or diagnostic technique for EDA-FN-associated inflammatory and other diseases can be established.
