title: Differential determination of cationic and anionic glutathione S-transferases by enzyme immunoassay.
abstract: Specific enzyme immunoassays for cationic and anionic glutathione S-transferases were established using the specific antibodies which were purified by antigen-bound adsorbent column chromatography. The enzyme immunoassay for cationic glutathione S-transferase had high specificity to cationic enzyme, but showed no cross reactivity with anionic one, and vice versa. The recovery of cationic glutathione S-transferase by the enzyme immunoassay was 94.7%, and coefficient of variation for within day and day-to-day precision were 7.8-10.4% and 8.5-12.5%, respectively. The enzyme immunoassay for anionic glutathione S-transferase also had a good recovery and precision. Using these enzyme immunoassays for glutathione S-transferases, sera of various patients were analyzed. Serum cationic glutathione S-transferase was increased in patients with hepatitis and hepatoma, and anionic glutathione S-transferase in serum was increased in patients with liver cirrhosis.
