title: Antibodies to porcine uteroferrin used in measurement of human tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase.
abstract: The immunological similarity between human tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) and porcine uteroferrin previously reported for the isoenzyme from spleens of patients with leukemic reticuloendotheliosis (Ketcham et al., J Biol Chem 1985;260:5768-76) has been confirmed for partly purified acid phosphatase found in the spleen of a patient with Gaucher's disease, and for the corresponding isoenzyme in other tissues and serum. Anti-uteroferrin antibodies raised in rabbits have been used to demonstrate the feasibility of their application in an immunoassay for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase in serum.
