Optimized bioluminescence assay of creatine kinase and creatine kinase B-subunit activity.

چکیده
Spectrophotometry of CK-B subunit activity based on immunoinhibition is rapid and convenient. However, the low sensitivity limits clinical applications to serum samples with CK-B activities considerably above normal. A sensitive, but not optimized, bioluminescent assay of CK-B, also based on immunoinhibition, has been described. We improved this method by the use of an ADP concentration saturating the CK reaction and by the combined use of AMP and diadenosine pentaphosphate for inhibition of adenylate kinase. The optimized bioluminescent method is similar to the corresponding spectrophotometric method (reaction conditions, analytical procedure, numerical results, etc.) and results by the two methods correlate well. However, the measuring time is shorter and, more important, the sensitivity of the bioluminescent method allows accurate determinations of CK-B, even in serum from healthy individuals (CV approximately 3%). Kits and instrumentation (manual and automatic) for determination of CK and CK-B are now commercially available.

Creatine kinase B-subunit activity in serum after immunoinhibition of M-subunit activity.
Creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2) B-subunit activity in serum may be routinely measured as residual activity after specific immunoinhibition of the M-subunit. We assessed the inhibition kinetics, specificity, completeness of inhibition, and inhibitory capacity of three different anti-M preparations, with use of isolated human BB, MM, and MB isoenzymes. The Scandinavian-recommended reaction system wa...

متن کاملBioluminescence assay of creatine kinase and its isoenzymes in serum and cerebrospinal fluid.
We examined the sensitivity of bioluminescence for the determination of very low concentrations of creatine kinase brain-type subunit (CK-BB) in serum and in cerebrospinal fluid. To optimize the sensitivity of CK-isoenzyme assays and eliminate possible sources of error, we separated the isoenzyme fractions by using inhibiting anti-MM and precipitating anti-MM and anti-BB antibodies. The results...
