title: Determination of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide and thiazole-4-carboxamide-adenine dinucleotide in human leukocytes by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: A high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for cellular nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide and thiazole-4-carboxamide-adenine dinucleotide is presented that is appropriate for analysis of these dinucleotides in extracts of Ficoll-purified human leukemic cells. The separation, which is effected by reversed-phase chromatography, is highly reproducible and the limit of quantitation is as low as 10-15 pmol. The stability of these compounds in neutralized perchloric acid extracts is addressed and the applicability of the procedure to clinical specimens is demonstrated.
