This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18352856 titled 'HEPCIDIN ADSORPTION INHIBITOR, METHOD OF INHIBITING ADSORPTION, STANDARD PRODUCT, REAGENT, KIT, AND MEASURING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The present invention is a hepcidin adsorption inhibitor and related methods and products. Hepcidin is a peptide hormone involved in iron metabolism. The invention aims to inhibit the adsorption of hepcidin, which can be beneficial for various medical and research purposes.
- The invention includes a hepcidin adsorption inhibitor that contains a chelating agent.
- A method is provided to inhibit the adsorption of hepcidin by bringing a hepcidin-containing liquid into contact with a rubber, plastic, or glass member in the presence of a chelating agent.
- A standard product is developed for measuring hepcidin, which includes the hepcidin adsorption inhibitor and hepcidin itself.
- The invention also encompasses reagents, kits, and measuring methods related to hepcidin adsorption inhibition.
- By inhibiting the adsorption of hepcidin, the invention offers potential benefits in medical and research applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
An object of the present invention is to provide a hepcidin adsorption inhibitor, a method of inhibiting adsorption, a standard product, a reagent, a kit, and a measuring method. The present invention relates to a hepcidin adsorption inhibitor including a chelating agent, a method of inhibiting adsorption of hepcidin, which includes bringing a hepcidin-containing liquid into contact with at least one member selected from a rubber member, a plastic member, or a glass member, in a presence of a chelating agent, a standard product for measuring hepcidin, which contains the hepcidin adsorption inhibitor and hepcidin, and the like. According to the present invention, the adsorption of hepcidin is inhibited.
