Lucigenin chemiluminescence assay for superoxide detection.
Superoxide Detection To the Editor: The recent review by Tarpey and Fridovich published in Circulation Research1 mostly contains interesting and sound material; however, I would like to comment on the section entitled, “Superoxide Detection, Chemiluminescence Reactions.” Basing mainly on their own data,2 authors maintain that lucigenin-amplified chemiluminescence (LucCL) overestimates the rate ...
متن کاملA highly sensitive chemiluminescence assay for superoxide detection and chronic granulomatous disease diagnosis
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by neutrophils are crucial for defense against infectious diseases, and the adequate measurement of ROS levels is an important way to evaluate the possibility of infections. The fluorescent probe dihydrorhodamine 123 has been applied exclusively to the measurement of ROS thus far. We developed a novel method for detecting ROS, which utilizes the chemilumin...
متن کاملInvestigation of alveolar macrophage function using lucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence.
The method using lucigenin-dependent phagocytic chemiluminescence is described for the assessment of alveolar macrophage metabolic activity in response to stimulation by opsonised particles or soluble agents. The requirement for superoxide anion (O2-) in the production of chemiluminescence is suggested by inhibition (95%) using superoxide dismutase. The results obtained are correlated with thos...
متن کاملChemiluminescent detection of oxidants in vascular tissue. Lucigenin but not coelenterazine enhances superoxide formation.
Lucigenin-amplified chemiluminescence has frequently been used to assess the formation of superoxide in vascular tissues. However, the ability of lucigenin to undergo redox cycling in purified enzyme-substrate mixtures has raised questions concerning the use of lucigenin as an appropriate probe for the measurement of superoxide production. Addition of lucigenin to reaction mixtures of xanthine ...
متن کاملChemiluminescence assay improves specificity of hepatitis C antibody detection.
BACKGROUND Antibodies to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) have typically been detected by enzyme immunoassay (EIA). A chemiluminescence assay (CA) for anti-HCV is now commercially available. METHODS We compared the positive rate for a CA in a HCV screening program for veterans with historical rates obtained with EIA. We also compared results in 2824 samples tested by both methods and assessed the...
