title: A rapid fluorimetric test for lysozyme with purified fluorescamine-labelled peptidoglycan.
abstract: A sensitive and rapid fluorometric lysozyme assay is described. It is based on the hydrolysis of fluorescamine-labelled peptidoglycan from Micrococcus luteus cell walls. Lysozyme levels as low as 0.1 microgram can be detected.
