Rapid electrophoretic determination of neuron-specific enolase isoenzymes in serum.
This assay procedure for each of the two neuron-specific enolases (alpha gamma and gamma gamma) and the non-neuronal enolase (alpha alpha) in serum involves two steps: electrophoretic separation of the three isoenzymes--alpha alpha, alpha gamma, and gamma gamma--on cellulose acetate, and bioluminescence measurement of total enolase activity. From these data, the activity concentrations (U/L) of...
متن کاملDetermination of urine neuron-specific enolase levels in neuroblastoma patients.
Urine levels of neuron-specific enolase were determined in 3 neuroblastoma patients (1 in an advanced state and 2 in remission), 25 control children, 37 control adults and 4 children with hematuria by means of the double-antibody inhibition radioimmunoassay specific to the gamma subunit of enolase isozymes. The levels of neuron-specific enolase mean +/- S.D. ng/creatinine mg in an advanced neur...
متن کاملNeuron-specific enolase concentrations in serum in benign liver diseases.
Neuron-specific enolase (EC 4.2.1.11; NSE), a glycolytic enzyme produced by neuronal and neuroendocrine cells, is used as a tumor marker of neuroendocrine cancers, especially small-cell lung cancer. We have evaluated the behavior of NSE in nonmalignant liver diseases in 161 patients who underwent a thorough clinical and biochemical evaluation. Nine of the 161 patients (5.6%)--three of the 86 ci...
متن کاملSerum Neuron-Specific Enolase in Lead-Exposed Individuals.
The article by Ravibabu, et al, 1 provides important new data in the field of biomarkers to monitor exposures to lead within the workplace, as in the lead acid battery manufacturing. They found that the serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) levels are not elevated in association with concentrations of blood lead levels among workers in the lead acid battery manufacturing plant. In our (unpublishe...
