Claim Text:
1. A method for detecting Ig-C-terminal fragment of adiponectin receptor (Ig-CTF) in a biological sample, said method comprising: a. exposing a biological sample derived from a subject of a first species to a first antibody of a second species that preferentially binds the first species' Ig-CTF, said Ig-CTF comprising an immunoglobulin portion attached to a CTF peptide, said CTF peptide comprising the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 44, or an antigen-binding fragment of said first antibody, forming a mixture; b. exposing said mixture to a second antibody or an antigen-binding fragment of a third species that preferentially binds the first species' Ig; and c. detecting the Ig-CTF present in said sample.
