Abstract:
:A sensitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) micromethod is described which can measure levels of a 14 kDa human brain lectin (HBL) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients submitted to CSF examination. The assay is based on the use of a polyclonal antibody to HBL and the simultaneous application of biotinylated and unlabeled HBL. Biotin was then reacted with a streptavidin-peroxidase (Strep-HRP) conjugate and the bound enzyme quantified with the substrate orthophenylenediamine (OPD). The assay requires only 50 microliters of CSF and is very sensitive: as little as 6 ng/ml of HBL 14 can be detected. In a blind-test screening, the mean (+/- SEM) concentration of the HBL immunoreactive material (HIM) in CSF was determined to be 72.4 +/- 6.6 ng/ml. Our results indicate that EIA measurement of HIM levels in the CSF may find useful applications in elucidating the involvement of HBL in the physiopathology of human nervous system (NS).
