  • Title: "PMN-elastase assay": enzyme immunoassay for human polymorphonuclear elastase complexed with alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor.
    Author: Neumann S, Gunzer G, Hennrich N, Lang H.
    Journal: J Clin Chem Clin Biochem; 1984 Oct; 22(10):693-7. PubMed ID: 6392472.
    Abstract:
    A solid phase, enzyme-linked immunoassay is described for the quantitative determination of the complex of human granulocyte elastase (EC 3.4.21.37) with alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor. The assay employs antibody-coated test tubes and it is suitable for routine use in clinical chemistry laboratories. Data for sample stability and test characteristics are given. A reference range of 20-180 micrograms/l elastase in plasma was determined. The diagnostic significance of granulocyte elastase levels in plasma in inflammatory diseases is discussed.
