An immunological pretreatment method using a microplate was developed for fractional determination of low concentrations of a-fetoprotein (AFP) in serum. This method allows simultaneous partial purification and concentration of AFP from many serum samples. The pretreated sample can then be subjected to lectin-affinity electrophoresis (LAE) coupled with detection by antibody-affinity blotting. More than 60% of the AFP was recovered by the partial purification from serum containing less than 100 pg/I of AFP, and the specific activities for the total protein was raised more than 20-fold. There was no bias or shift in AFP composition between the untreated and partially purified samples. By the present pretreatment method, AFP at a concentration of as low as 10 pg/I in serum was concentrated and detected by the LAE coupled with the antibody-affinity blotting.

We developed an anti-GOR assay using the LuminomasterTM system, a fully automated, random access chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay system. GOR antibody, which is often detected in the serum of patients infected withHepatitis C virus (HCV), is closely associated with HCV infection. This new assay provides detection of GOR antibody in 45 min, about half the time of existing EIA methods. The standard curve is 0.1-300 GOR unit/ml (1/10th-300 times cut-off value), giving a detection range about 30 times greater than that of existing assays. This greater detection

Polymorphisms of the genes for enzymes participating in the metabolism of several carcinogens have been identified. These polymorphisms are associated with varieties in the enzymatic activity or substrate specificity, and thus additive or multiplicative risks for development of various human cancers. In this study, we compared the genotype frequencies of four enzymes (CYP1A1, CYP2D6, N-acetyltransferase and glutathione S-transferase) from cervical cancer patients and healthy control individuals, to estimate the importance of polymorphisms in human papillomavirus infection and development of cervical cancer. The frequency of the Slow acetylator N-acetyltransferase genotype differed significantly between cervical cancer patients and healthy controls (P < 0.05, x2 = 4.24). No significant difference was found between these two groups in the frequency of any of the other genotypes studied. These findings suggest that the arylamine compounds metabolized by N-acetylation play an important role in human cervical carcinogenesis.

An improved colorimetric method for the determination of phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide is described. Phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide was allowed to react with potassium iodide in the presence of acetylchloride at room temperature, and the liberated iodine was measured colorimetrically at 550 nm after the addition of starch in 10% aqueous acetic acid. A linear response was observed between 5 and 40 nmol.
