摘要:
A highly sensitive quantitative assay method for any one component which is L-glycero-3-phosphate (G3P), dihydroxyacetone-3-phosphate (DHAP), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) or reduced NAD, in a specimen to be assayed, comprising causing this component in the specimen to take part in the cycling reaction ##STR1## wherein GPO is glycerophosphate oxidase and GPDH is glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, and measuring a detectable change in the reaction system. There is thus provided a novel G3P-GHAP cycling reaction using GPO, which consumes O.sub.2 and generates H.sub.2 O.sub.2 and DHAP, with a substrate of G3P, and furthermore GPDH which consumes reduced NAD and generates NAD and G3P, with a substrate of DHAP. Examples of specimens are specimens which contain any one of G3P, DHAP, NAD or reduced NAD, or which liberate or generate such a component. By proceeding at a rate of more than ten cycles per minute and measuring the amount of a detectable change in the reaction, the component in a specimen can easily and sensitively be detected with good accuracy.

摘要:
Apparatus for performing an immunoassay, comprises in combination a reaction tube closed at its bottom, and in the reaction tube a molded element having on its surface material having specific binding ability for a component in a liquid specimen to be assayed. The shape of the surface of the element adjacent the interior surface of the tube is the complement of the shape of the interior surface of the tube. A spacer rib is provided on the element, in contact with the interior surface of the tube. This rib holds the element in such position in the tube that the surfaces of complementary shape of the element and tube are shaped from each other a small but constant distance. A thin layer of constant thickness of a liquid specimen for immunoassay is thus receivable between the complementary surfaces. This arrangement increases the contact surface of the liquid medium in the reaction tube by the element, by establishing a homogeneous uniform layer of liquid medium. This avoids the need for stirring and shaking and reduces the required volume of the specimen to be assayed.
摘要:
An assay method for amylase activity in a biological specimen such as serum, saliva or urine. The enzyme amylase in the specimen is used to decompose a substrate which is a glucose polymer having a modified reducing terminal glucose residue or a cyclic glucose polymer. A component of the decomposed substrate is measured as an indication of amylase activity in the specimen. The residue may be amylose, amylopectin, starch, starch hydrolyzate, an etherified reducing terminal, an esterified reducing terminal, gluconolactone or a gluconic acid residue or its derivative. Decomposed substrate assay may be effected by contacting the same with maltose dehydrogenase and NAD or NADP, whereupon the assay is performed by measuring the amount of reduced NAD or reduced NADP, by reacting the same with reduced-form hydrogen transport colorimetric reaction reagent. This reagent may be a tetrazolium salt and diaphorase, or tetrazolium salt and phenazinemethosulfate. To remove pre-existing glucose and maltose present in the specimen, the specimen may be pretreated with alpha-glucosidase or kinase in the presence of Mg.sup.++ and ATP, the kinase being for example hexokinase. The preferred maltose dehydrogenase is produced by culturing Bacillus megaterium B-0779 FERM-P No. 5662.

Novel amine compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is lower alkyl and R.sub.2 is substituted methyl amino or D-amino acid residue, or a salt thereof. R.sub.1 can typically be isobutyl or methyl; and R.sub.2 can be methylamino of the formula--NH--CH.sub.2 --R.sub.3in which R.sub.3 is organic, more particularly methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, amyl, p-hydroxybenzyl, 3,4-di-hydroxybenzyl, 5-imidazolemethyl, 3-imidazolemethyl or phenyl. R.sub.2 can also be D-amino acid residue of the formula ##STR2## in which one of R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 is carboxyl and the other is organic, more particularly methylthioethyl, isobutyl, methyl or phenyl, and C* is a D-asymmetric carbon atom. The compounds are useful in an assay method for leucine and aminopeptidase which comprises reacting a substrate amide as above, or a salt thereof, with a sample for leucine aminopeptidase assay, incubating the reaction product produced thereby, and measuring the thus-consumed oxygen or liberated hydrogen peroxide.

L-.alpha.-glycerophosphate oxidase can be produced by culturing Aerococcus viridans IFO-12219 or Aerococcus viridans IFO-12317. It is useful for analysis for L-.alpha.-glycerophosphate, because it catalyzes the reaction of L-.alpha.-glycerophosphate and oxygen to form dihydroxyacetone phosphate and hydrogen peroxide.
