A turbidimetric method for fibronectin assay in the dog.
An immunoturbidimetric method, using spectrophotometry, for the assay of canine plasma fibronectin concentration was compared with the immunoelectrophoretic method. The spectrophotometric method (S) correlated positively (r = 0.7) and significantly (P less than 0.01) with the immunoelectrophoretic method (I). The regression equation was S = 0.37I + 53. Ninety-five percent confidence levels for the regression line were calculated to allow detection, by spectrophotometry, of plasma fibronectin concentrations outside the normal range.
