A new enzyme immunoassay of microsomal rat liver epoxide hydrolase.
Antiserum against purified rat liver microsomal epoxide hydrolase was produced in the rabbit. We developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay which is reliable with regard to its analytical criteria. The concentration of epoxide hydrolase was measured in liver microsomes of control rats and animals treated with F 1379 (250 mg/kg/day) for 5, 7, 14, and 21 days. This hypolipidemic drug was able to induce strong epoxide hydrolase activity and enhance protein concentration. The gradual increase in epoxide hydrolase concentration paralleled the increase of epoxide hydrolase activity, with stabilization occurring after the 14th until the 21st day of treatment.
