Issue Date: | 30-Mar-2011 | Publisher: | Public Library of Science (PLoS) | Journal: | PloS one | Abstract: | Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) is an exciting new biomarker for the determination of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. It is known that circulating RBP4 resides in multiple variants which may provide enhanced clinical utility, but conventional immunoassay methods are blind to such differences. A Mass Spectrometric immunoassay (MSIA) technology that can quantitate total RBP4 as well as individual isoforms may provide an enhanced analysis for this biomarker. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12188/14966 | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pone.0017282 |
