Australia antigen in a closed adult population monitored for serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase.

چکیده
A study of the presence of Australia antigen (Au/SH) was conducted over a period of 21 weeks among volunteer plasma donors living in a prison and being monitored for serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (SGOT). A good correlation was observed between the level of SGOT and presence of Au/SH, the latter being present in 33% of donors with SGOT values higher than 101 Karmen units and in 12% of those with SGOT values of 41 to 100 units. Furthermore, none of the 87 donors with all SGOT values below 40 was found positive for Au/SH. It should be noted, however, that single specimens only were tested from 72 of the 87 individuals. Au/SH was detected with equivalent efficiency by both agar gel precipitation and complement fixation procedures. Implications of these findings in the prognostication of hepatitis carrier state are discussed.

The serum glutamic oxalacetic transamninase rose two to 20 times normal in 74 of 75 patients who had acute transmural myocardial infarction. The height of the enzymatic activity was roughly proportional to the size of the infarct. Serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase is unaffecte:d by angina pectoris, coronary insufficiency, heart failure, or digitalis in the absence of active heart cell inju...

The determination of serum glutamic oxalacetic and glutamic pyruvic transaminase has been simplified by the use of automated analysis. The flow diagrams, concentration of reagents, and calculation of the color unit in terms of the Karmen unit are shown for 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and 6-benzamido-4-methoxy-m -toluidine diazonium chloride as the reacting dyes. Advantages of both methods are co...

‘THE RECENT DEVELOPMENT of a new colorimetric procedure (TransAc*), for the determination of serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase utilizing the diazonium salt, 6-benzamido-4-methoxy-m-toluidine diazonium chloride, as the color developer with a specificity for oxalacetic acid, prompted the following experiments. Determination of glutamic oxalacetic transaminase activities were performed accord...

The SMA-12/30 method for serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase assay gives higher values than are obtained with a reference spectrophotometric method for someserums.A modification of the manifold is made to permit the running of serum blanks. Blank corrections on 466 serum samples indicate that dialysis does not eliminate the need for the blank determination. Acetoacetate interferes in the SMA...
متن کاملDetermination of glutamic oxalacetic transaminase activity by coupling of oxalacetate with diazonium salts.
A method for measuring serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase activity is described, in which substrate concentrations are more nearly optimal than in previous colonmetric methods. By coupling the diazonium salt at a pH of 4.2, interference from a-oxoglutarate is negligible. Oxalacetate is produced at a linear rate to 180 l.U. Results correlate well with those obtained by a reference spectropho...
