Simple column liquid chromatographic assay for serum neopterin.
A simple high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for serum neopterin with highly sensitive fluorimetric detection (limit 1 nM) is proposed. Comparison with results obtained by radioimmunoassay revealed a good correlation between the two techniques. The potential use of this method for the follow-up of liver transplant patients is discussed.
