    摘要: A method of assaying normal aglycans and an assaying kit therefor, which method comprises separating normal aglycans having an avidity for hyaluronic acid and present in a specimen from proteoglycans not having such an avidity and detecting only the normal aglycans. The separated normal aglycans are detected by the technique of detecting proteoglycans. The specimen is preferably a joint fluid originating in the joint as the target of judgement. A method of judging joint-related information comprises detecting information on the amount of normal aglycans in a specimen and the total amount of proteoglycans therein with the above method and kit, comparing the obtained information with the same type of information, which has been prepared in advance, on the amounts of the above-specified compounds in a joint fluid originating in a normal joint, and judging whether the obtained information is one pertinent to pathologic joints or one pertinent to normal joints on the basis of the presence or absence of any significant difference therebetween. The information pertinent to pathologic joints is classified into the one pertinent to arthrosis deformans, the one pertinent to rheumatoid arthritis, the one pertinent to traumatic arthritis, and the one pertinent to gout. The method and kit can be utilized for the biochemical diagnosis of joint diseases in the field of orthopedics. They can be utilized also for discriminating normal joints from pathologic joints, for grasping morbidity such as judgement on the type and prognosis of joint diseases, and for grasping the curative effects by determining the concentration of normal aglycan, the content of normal aglicans in the whole of proteoglycans, and so forth.

    摘要: This invention provides (1) a reagent for endotoxin assay which comprises aprotinin and a limulus amebocyte lysate reagent, (2) a kit for endotoxin assay which comprises the limulus amebocyte lysate reagent and a reagent containing aprotinin, (3) a method for assaying endotoxin in a sample using the limulus amebocyte lysate reagent in which aprotinin is added to the lysate reagent and/or the sample, (4) a method for assaying endotoxin in a serine protease-containing sample using the limulus amebocyte lysate reagent in which the sample is allowed to contact with an aprotinin-immobilized insoluble carrier in advance of endotoxin assay, (5) a carrier for pretreating a serine protease-containing sample on which aprotinin is immobilized, (6) a method for inhibiting factor G activation in which aprotinin is added to the limulus amebocyte lysate reagent and (7) a factor G activation inhibitor which comprises aprotinin as an active ingredient. Endotoxin assay can be effected based on the factor C system reaction, without influences of factor G contained in the limulus amebocyte lysate reagent and/or serine proteases contained in samples.

    摘要: A crystallizable, purified chondroitinase ABC having a molecular weight of about 100,000 dalton by the measurement of the SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and the measurement by the gel permeation chromatography method, having alanine as the N-terminal amino acid and proline as the C-terminal amino acid. A process for the purification of the crystallizable purified chondroitinase ABC comprising removing nucleic acid from an surfactant solution extract obtained from cells of chondroitinase ABC-producing microorganisms and chromatographically treating by concentration gradient elution using a weak cation exchange resin or a strong cation exchange resin. A composition comprising a chondroitinase and serum albumin, gelatin, or a nonionic surfactant. The chondroitinase ABC is isolated from Proteus vulgaris ATCC 6896.

    摘要: Provided is a technology related to a horseshoe crab factor B variant, and also provided is means for performing endotoxin measurement with high sensitivity. A polypeptide having an amino acid sequence in which the amino acid residue at the 193-position in an amino acid sequence of a polypeptide of horseshoe crab factor B is substituted with a cysteine (Cys) residue, is produced. Endotoxin measurement can be carried out with high sensitivity by configuring a Limulus reagent by combining this polypeptide with horseshoe crab factor C.
