title: Polyclonal antibody-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein.
abstract: This is a noncompetitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for measuring low concentrations (2 to 100 micrograms/L) of human alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP; orosomucoid). The method is based on a simple "sandwich" technique involving polyclonal rabbit antisera against AGP. Mean within-run and total (between-run) CVs were 6.2% and 9.7%, respectively. Analytical recovery, tested in various biological fluids, averaged 101%. The technique has been successfully applied to diluted biological fluids such as bronchoalveolar lavage, cerebrospinal and amniotic fluids, and hepatocyte-culture supernates. Because of its analytical validity and the commercial availability of the reagents, this assay is suitable for large-scale determinations of AGP concentrations in those biological fluids in which its concentration is relatively low.
