Objective: The MB fraction of creatine kinase (CK-MB) has long been used as a cardiac marker. It is known that the CK-MB immunoinhibition method lacks selectivity and accuracy, because the appearance of macro CK type 2, corresponding to mitochondrial creatine kinase (MtCK) in some patient serum may render CK-MB activity measured by conventional method abnormally high. Thus, to improve the specificity and accuracy of the CK-MB assay, we developed two types of monoclonal anti-MtCK antibodies against sarcomeric MtCK and ubiquitous MtCK, and present herein the performance of a new method using these antibodies. Material and methods: The performance of our test for detecting CK-MB activity was compared with other methods, and the range of CK-MB activities in normal human serum was investigated. Results: The two types of monoclonal antibodies developed by us were isoenzyme-specific to sMtCK or uMtCK. The correlation coefficients of our method and conventional method to electrophoresis were 0.973 and 0.873, respectively. The mean CK-MB activity in normal human serum by our method and the conventional method was 2.4 and 11.7 U/L, respectively. Thus, our data indicated that about 80% of CK-MB activity, determined using the conventional method, seems to correspond to the MtCK activity. Conclusion: Our method is novel in offering higher accuracy of measuring true CK-MB contents in human serum as compared to the conventional method. The possibility of accurately estimating CK-MB activity by our method which can inhibit MtCKs in healthy person and patient serum is likely to bring a break-through in clinical diagnostics.
