    摘要: The present invention provides an enzymatic cycling assay for assessing the amount of homocysteine and/or cystathionine in a solution such as blood, blood derivatives, or urine. The assay comprises the steps of contacting the solution containing homocysteine and/or cystathionine to form a reaction mixture, with CBS, or a derivative thereof, L-serine, and CBL, or a derivative thereof, for a time period sufficient to catalyze the cyclical conversion of homocysteine form to cystathionine and the reconversion of cystathionine to homocysteine with the production of pyruvate and ammonia; determining the amount of homocysteine and/or ammonia present in the reaction mixture; and determining the amount of homocysteine and/or cystathionine present in the solution based on the amount of pyruvate and/or ammonia formed. Expression vectors and isolation procedures for CBS, or derivatives thereof, and CBL, or derivatives thereof, are also provided as well as test kits for carrying out the assay. In preferred embodiments, the assays can be conducted in 15 minutes or less, with a minimum of enzyme usage.

    摘要: Methods are provided for producing .alpha.-1-antitrypsin in host cells and for selecting transformed cells comprising the step of transforming the host cell with a DNA molecule comprising a gene which complements a deficiency in the host cell. The host cell is a strain having a deficiency in a function necessary for normal cell growth. The gene in the DNA molecule, such as a plasmid, which complements the deficiency serves as a selectable marker whereby the growth conditions for selection may comprise a conventional complex medium.
