Enzyme immunoassay for pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A.

Abstract:

:This enzyme immunoassay procedure for pregnancy-associated plasma protein type A involves a "sandwich"-type system in microtitration plates. One can detect 0.27 mg of the protein per liter of serum, with a between-batch CV of 10.2%, and the antiserum used does not cross react with any of the other placentally derived proteins. A reference interval for the last trimester of pregnancy is presented. The procedure described is suitable for studying the behavior of this protein during pregnancy.

  • Improved determination of aluminum in serum by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometry.

    abstract::This method for determining aluminum in human serum involves electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometry. A longer drying time allows less pre-dilution of the sample, and the method also includes a flush cycle after atomization. Standard-addition methodology is used to eliminate matrix effects and the need for ...
