A new solid-phase assay for biotin and biocytin and its application to the study of patients with biotinidase deficiency.
New solid-phase assays for the determination of biotin in plasma and urine and the determination of biocytin/biotinyl peptides in urine are described. These assays were used to demonstrate that patients with biotinidase deficiency excrete increased amounts of biocytin/biotinyl peptides.
