title: A sensitive, rapid, chemiluminescence-based method for the determination of diamines and polyamines.
abstract: A new sensitive and rapid chemiluminescence-based method for the determination of diamines and polyamines is described. Phosphocellulose paper strips are used for the removal of neutral or negatively charged molecules from polyamine-containing fluid. The procedure is based on the determination of hydrogen peroxide, produced during the oxidation of polyamines, by a fairly specific serum amine oxidase. A plant diamine oxidase is used for the assay of diamines. This method permits the determination of diamines and polyamines in a range of 10 to 100 pmol and may be used for the assay of urinary polyamines.
