Turbidimetric determination of haptoglobin.

چکیده
A specific, accurate and simple determination of haptoglobin is described with an antiserum against the antigenic determinants of the three haptoglobin phenotypes 1-1, 2-1 and 2-2. Antihaptoglobin is the determining factor in the formation of an antigen-antibody complex with maximal light absorption properties. Haptoglobin concentration is expressed as hemoglobin binding capacity. For the three haptoglobin phenotypes we found similar correlation between the turbidimetric method and the direct measurement of hemoglobin binding capacity by agar-electrophoresis.

Determination of serum haptoglobin reference value in clinically healthy Iranian fat-tailed sheep
Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of 101 clinically healthy Iranian fat-tailed sheep according to their age (5 years) and sex. Serum haptoglobin (Hp) was measured based upon the preservation of the peroxidase activity of haemoglobin, which is directly proportional to the amount of Hp. The reference value for serum Hp of apparently healthy Iranian fat-tailed sheep was 0.05-0.18 ...
متن کاملDetermination of Haptoglobin Genotype in an Iranian Population with Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy
Background: Haptoglobin (Hp) is a plasma α2-sialoglycoprotein that contains alpha and beta chains. It displays in three common phenotypes, Hp1-1, Hp2-1, and Hp2-2. Proteins expressed by polymorphic genes have grossly different molecular sizes resulting in different diffusion rates in the brain. Haptoglobin expressed by the Hp2-2 genotype has lower hemoglobin-binding capacity than Hp1-1 or...

We investigated the serum haptoglobin levels in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) based on the hypothesis that haptoglobin levels would reflect subclinical hemolysis due to microangiopathy in pulmonary arterioles.This cross-sectional study included 3 groups of patients attending Hokkaido University Hospital: PAH, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), and conne...
متن کاملOn-site determination of microalbuminuria based on Particle- Enhanced Turbidimetric-Inhibition Immunoassay (PETINIA) by portable fiber-optic spectrometer
A homemade fiber-optic spectrometer has been fabricated for portable and on-site determination of microalbuminuria. The principle of the method was based on particle-enhanced turbidimetric-inhibition immunoassay (PETINIA), which was not affected by the hook effect phenomenon. This method was linear from 0 to 150 mg L (r = 0.987), with a detection limit of 3.01 mg L (S/N = 3). The intra-assay co...
متن کاملGenotyping of the common haptoglobin Hp 1/2 polymorphism based on PCR.
BACKGROUND A genetically defined molecular heterogeneity of haptoglobin, characterized by the major phenotypic forms Hp 1-1, Hp 2-1, and Hp 2-2, has been associated with distinct clinical manifestations. To enable the use of DNA samples for the study of this polymorphism, we established a haptoglobin genotyping method based on PCR. METHODS Taking advantage of the selectivity of PCR, we amplif...
