چکیده

The methods currently available for quantitative determination of lysozyme are based on the capacity of the enzyme to lyse Micrococcus lysodeikticus. Previous attempts to develop immunochemical assays have been reported, but the sensitivity was inferior to that of the most widely used lysoplate method. We describe the development of a sensitive immunochemical method for lysozyme assay in which the recently developed laser nephelometer is used. The sensitivity so achieved is at least comparable to that of the lysoplate method, and in some circumstances better. Results obtained by the lysoplate assay and the nephelometric assay correlate well. Among the advantages of our method are easier handling of larger numbers of samples, quicker results, and the possibility of assaying enzymatically inactive forms of the enzyme.

Automated immunochemical method for determination of urinary protein of plasma origin.

An automated continuous-flow procedure has been developed for the rapid determination of urinary proteins of plasma origin. Antiserum to whole human plasma was used as the reagent, and the antigen-antibody reactions were quantitated by nephelometry. By adding polyethylene glycol (mol wt 6000-7500) to the reaction medium, reaction time was decreased to less than 3 min; no sample blanks were requ...

Rapid determination of proteins in serum and cerebrospinal fluid by laser-nephelometry.

The Laser-nephelometric technique is characterized by its easy handling, accuracy, good reproducibility and especially by the short time in which reliable results are available. A very good correlation was found between the results obtained by the electroimmunoassay and those obtained by Laser-nephelometry. In both techniques alpha2-macroglobulin is the largest serum protein that can be determi...

Six approaches to routine quantification of human monoclonal immunoglobulin M compared.

Six routine techniques for the determination of monoclonal IgM are compared: standard electrophoresis, the Technicon AIP system, Hyland laser nephelometry, Beckman Immunochemistry System, Behring laser nephelometry, and radial immunodiffusion. The data are evaluated by use of a nonparametric statistical analysis of variance by ranks (Friedman test) and Wilcoxon's test. The 27 sera containing mo...

Concentrations of plasma immunoglobulins in the dog as determined by laser nephelometry. Comparison with radial immunodiffusion and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Concentrations of immunoglobulins were determined by laser nephelometry and, for comparison, by single radial immunodiffusion assay and a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in plasma samples of normal dogs. Correlation between methods was high, although the mean IgM concentrations determined by laser nephelometry were significantly higher than those determined by the single radi...
