title: Clinical application of the serum 1,5-anhydroglucitol assay method using glucose 3-dehydrogenase.
abstract: We attempted to develop a novel serum 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) assay kit using glucose 3-dehydrogenase (G3DH) from Halomonas sp. alpha-15 strain. The major advantages of this method are that the 1,5-AG detection requires a very small amount of G3DH, and the enzyme catalyzes a simple reaction. The analytical performances were acceptable for clinical use operated with a clinical automatic analyzer. The correlation with a commercial assay kit against sera of healthy volunteers was y=0.975x+0.008, r=0.993, Sylx=1.32 microg/mL. However, sham-negative specimens were observed in the validation of this method using specimens from hospital patients.
