Counterimmunoelectrophoresis in determination of prostatic acid phosphatase in human serum.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We evaluated counterimmunoelectrophoresis for use in measuring prostatic acid phosphatase in detection of prostatic cancer. After staining for acid phosphatase, we could detect as little as 0.3 ng of purified enzyme standard complexed with antibody by this technique. However, when serum samples were used as antigen, the method was less sensitive (1.5-2.0 ng) because some of the serum proteins migrate with the phosphatase and decrease the intensity of the stain for acid phosphatase. For this reason we could not detect the phosphatase in serum samples of normal persons; only patients with moderately (or greater) increased activity in their serum showed positive results. In contrast, by radioimmunoassay as little as 1.0 ng of the phosphatase can be detected in serum.

P-10: Effects of Cadmium on Reproductive Enzymes of Blood and Reproductive Tissues in Adult Male Mice
Background: Heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd2+) are natural components of the Earth's crust which can not be degraded or destroyed. Industrial, mining and agricultural activities, particularly the excessive use of phosphate fertilizers, have led to high levels of cadmium contamination at many locations worldwide. Some toxic effects of cadmium are due to its inhibition of various enzyme sys...

متن کاملSerum and urinary measurements of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) and prostatic specific antigen (PSA) in dogs
Serum and urinary prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) and prostatic specific antigen (PSA) from 20 dogs were measured. PAP and PSA tests were carried out in authomatized equipment with commercial kits used for humans. Mean PAP serum value was 0.7U/l and urinary 0.1U/l. Mean serum and urinary PSA were 0.005ng/dl and 0.004ng/dl, respectively. In vivo determination of these two biomarkers in dogs is ...

A procedure is presented for the automated determination of acid phosphatase activity in biological materials using the Robot Chemist. Although either phenylphosphate and a-naphthylphosphate may be used as substrate in this analysis, the procedure is described in detail for serum acid phosphatase using a-naphthylphosphate in 0.1 M citrate, pH 5.2, since this substrate is more selective for pros...
