Abstract A "sandwich"-type enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for determining concentrations of human alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) is described. Microtiter plates coated with a polyclonal rabbit antibody to human AGP were subsequently incubated with the antigen, with a specific murine monoclonal antibody, and with goat anti-mouse immunoglobulins conjugated to alkaline phosphatase. To evaluate the method for assay of AGP in human sera, we compared it with single radial immunodiffusion and "rocket" electroimmunoassay. The respective correlations were r = 0.988 (n = 45) and r = 0.973 (n = 47). Repeated assays of a human serum sample with an average AGP concentration of 859 mg/L yielded within-day and between-day CVs of 1.4% (n = 5) and 6.3% (n = 10), respectively. Because of its low detection limit (4.4 micrograms/L), this assay is also suitable for determination of AGP concentrations in other biological fluids, such as dialysates of patients being treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

The Mean

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the measurement of human urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) in plasma and serum. Microtiter plates were coated with a monoclonal antibody and incubated with standard or sample. Bound u-PA was quantitated with polyclonal antibodies conjugated with biotin, followed by avidin-peroxidase. The assay was 10-fold as sensitive as other previously reported ELISAs, the detection limit being approximately 1 pg of u-PA in a volume of 100 μl with a linear dose-response up to 15 pg of u-PA. The assay detected active u-PA and its inactive proenzyme form equally well and the recovery of both forms was higher than 90% in plasma. A variety of structurally related proteins, including t-PA, were tested, but no reaction with proteins other than u-PA and its amino-terminal degradation product were observed. The intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation for determination of u-PA in plasma were 7.6% and 8.4%, respectively. The assay was equally applicable to serum. The values obtained with plasma and serum were similar, and the results were not affected by small variations in the preparation of the samples. The ELISA was used to measure the concentration of u-PA in plasma from 34 healthy donors. The mean values for u-PA in plasma from healthy donors was 1.1 ng/ml ± 0.3 ng/ml (SD) (range 0.6 - 1.5 ng/ml). No significant differences were found between men and women and no correlation between u-PA concentration and age could be demonstrated.The mean u-PA concentration in plasma from healthy donors obtained in this study is substantially lower than that reported by others. This might be due to different methods of determination of the protein content of the standard preparations or to differences in the specificity of the assays.
