The invention discloses a detection method in the technical field of
biological engineering, in particular a method for diagnosing
cardiac troponin I (cTn I) in a semi-quantitative mode by employing double-indicatrix immunochromatography. Acute
myocardial infarction (AMI) is a serious
disease in a
coronary heart disease, is a common emergency among middle-aged and
elderly people, and is high in death rate. According to statistics, one third to a half of patients die before being sent to a hospital. In the next 20 years, the AMI is a primary cause for death of the patients around the world. The cTn I is a reliable index which is currently acknowledged and has the highest specificity and the longest duration for
myocardial infarction diagnosis. At present, cTn I detection methods which are commonly used in clinic comprise an
enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay method and a
radioimmunoassay method, which are time-saving, labor-saving, difficult to popularize and high in cost. An immune
colloidal gold technology is quickly developed in recent years and can be widely applied to detection of communicable diseases, early
pregnancy and cancers. By employing
colloidal gold immunochromatography, a quick detection method for the cTn I is established. By adoption of the method, a cTn I gray area of 1 to 5 ng / ml can be subjected to semi-quantitative detection.
