Lysozyme determined in serum or urine by a simple nephelometric method.

چکیده
We describe a nephelometric procedure for determination of lysozyme. A quantitative result is obtained in 2 to 3 min with 50 microliter of serum or urine. At a lysozyme concentration of 12.0 mg/liter, between-day precision was 3.4% and the analytical recovery 96.5-105.5%. The values obtained were a linear function of enzyme concentration below 50 mg/liter, and they agreed with those obtained by absorptiometric determination of the decrease in turbidity of a suspension of Micrococcus lysodeikticus.

متن کاملAmylase activity in serum and urine: comparison of results by the amyloclastic, dyed-starch, and nephelometric techniques.
We assayed serum and urine specimens for amylase activity by the nephelometric (I),dyed-starch (Amylochrome) (II), and mayloclastic (III) techniques. For serum, the correlation coefficients of the regression lines were: I vs. II, 0.978 (n = 106); I vs. III, 0.736 (n = 110); and II vs. III, 0.739 (n = 108). For urine, they were I vs. II, 0.938 (n = 49); and I vs. III, 0.752 (n = 46). Because cal...
متن کاملSerum and Urinary Lysozyme (muramidase) in Monocytic and Monomyelocytic Leukemia
Markedly increased quantities of lysozyme have been found in the serum and urine (ranging to 2.6 g per day) of ten consecutive cases of monocytic and monomyelocytic leukemia. The enzyme has been isolated from the urine of several cases and physicochemically and immunochemically characterized. It is apparently identical to the lysozyme of normal tears, saliva, leukocytes, and serum, but structur...
متن کاملMeasurement of nine human milk proteins by nephelometric immunoassays: application to the determination of mature milk protein profile.
OBJECTIVES Microparticle-enhanced nephelometric immunoassays for six human milk proteins (beta-casein, kappa-casein, alpha-lactalbumin, serum albumin, lactoferrin, and lysozyme) and conventional immunonephelometry assays for immunoglobulin A, C3, and C4 complement proteins were developed and characterized. DESIGN AND METHODS Microparticle-enhanced nephelometric immunoassays are competitive as...
متن کاملMicroparticle-enhanced nephelometric immunoassay of lysozyme in milk and other human body fluids.
Quantitation of lysozyme in human milk was performed by a microparticle-enhanced nephelometric immunoassay based on the measurement of the light scattered during the competitive immunoagglutination of a microparticle-lysozyme conjugate with an anti-lysozyme antiserum. This immunoassay has a detection limit of 8 microg/L of reaction mixture and can be performed using diluted milk (1:6000, in rea...
