  1. Purified titin N-fragment proteins (FLAG-Titin-N-CHO, 1500, 375, 46.9 pmol/L each) were added to human urine samples (5-fold diluted) in which 1291.5 pmol/L of titin N-fragment was included. The recovery rates (%) at high, middle and low concentrations were calculated from the measured values (the mean value of duplicate samples) against the theoretical values, respectively. The recovery rates in all concentrations were nearly100% in human urine.
