METHOD OF ASSAYING D-VANILLYLMANDELIC ACID, AND REAGENT AND KIT THEREFOR.

摘要

Assay of D-vanillymandelic acid (DVMA) in pathological specimens is carried out by a (a) carrying out a competitive reaction of vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) in the specimen and VMA bound in a solid phase against a labelled anti-DVMA antibody; (b) sepg. the liq. and solid phases; (c) determining the amt. of label attached to the solid phase; and (d) comparingg with a calibration curve obtd. by using known concns. of (pref. racemic) VMA. The anti-DVMA antibody is pref. an IgC antibody which has 100% reaction with DVMA and below 1% reaction with its enantiomer (LVMA).
