Does isoelectric point determination of cardiac troponin I form present in plasma from patients with myocardial infarction?
2-DE analysis of AMI plasma showed the presence of acidic cTnI forms, one of them being phosphorylated. The clinical significance of these forms has to be further investigated.
Our results show that the assessment of serum HCV-RNA 12 weeks after the end of treatment, using the highly sensitive TMA assay (PPV 99.7%), is as relevant as after 24 weeks to predict SVR and make decisions on the management of treated patients, suggesting a new definition for SVR.
