Abstract
The invention relates generally to gelsolin binding agents (e.g., antibodies) which can bind to gelsolin polypeptides. Gelsolin binding agents of the invention are useful, alone or in combination, to detect a gelsolin polypeptide (a.k.a., the target polypeptide) in a test sample as well as to purify native gelsolin proteins. Gelsolin binding agents are also useful to diagnose, a gelsolin related medical condition in subjects in need thereof. Kits to detect gelsolin in biological samples are provided by the present invention.
