title: ELISA using monoclonal antibody to human serum arylesterase.
abstract: ELISA for determining arylesterase content in human serum has been developed by the one-step sandwich method using 2 monoclonal antibodies. While the content of arylesterase in healthy adults was 81 +/- 25 mg/l, a decrease was observed in patients with liver cirrhosis, where the mean +/- SD was 37 +/- 7 mg/l. ELISA of human serum arylesterase correlated with the activity determined by a specific substrate assay we devised recently.
