ENZYME-LINKED IMMUNOSORBENT ASSAY OF NEOPTERIN USING PENICILLINASE AS LABEL
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for neopterin using penicillinase as marker enzyme is reported here by polyclonal antibodies against neopterin conjugated to bovine serum albumin which were raised in rabbits. Immunoglobulin fractions were purified and coated on wells of microtiter plates. A chain heterology was introduced in neopterin derivative and conjugated to penicillinase. The assa...
متن کاملClinical value of serum neopterin, tissue polypeptide-specific antigen and CA19-9 levels in differential diagnosis between pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis.
BACKGROUND Neopterin and tissue polypeptide-specific antigen (TPS) have been suggested to be useful in differential diagnosis between pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) and chronic pancreatitis (CP). The aim of our study was to compare the clinical usefulness of CA19-9, neopterin and TPS serum levels in patients with PA and CP. METHODS The study included 85 patients with PA, 72 with CP and 50 hea...
متن کاملSerum neopterin levels in HIV infected patients with & without tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Three categories of prognostic markers are best documented as having significance in relation to prognosis of HIV infection. These include HIV viral load, CD4 T-cell levels and plasma levels of soluble markers of immune activation. The plasma activation markers, like neopterin, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukins etc., are products of cytokine activity a...
متن کاملNeopterin in Diagnosis and Monitoring of Infectious Diseases
Neopterin is produced by activated monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells upon stimulation by interferon gamma produced by T-lymphocytes. Quantification of neopterin in body fluids has been achieved by standard high-performance liquid chromatography, radioimmunoassays, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Neopterin levels predict HIV-related mortality more efficiently than clinical mani...
متن کاملNeopterin concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid and serum as an aid in differentiating central nervous system and peripheral infections in children.
Neopterin is a sensitive indicator for cellular immune activation. Its concentrations were determined in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum specimens from 91 children with no evidence of central nervous system (CNS) or peripheral inflammations, 43 with definite neuroborreliosis, 51 with other CNS infections, and 33 with peripheral infections. The aim of our study was (a) to establish a range o...
