A highly sensitive enzymatic cycling method was developed for the serum total bile acids assay. We constructed a prokaryotic expression system to prepare the recombinant 3alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in place of the natural enzyme and for the first time used it in the total bile acids assay. The production rate of thio-NADH correlated with the bile acids concentration and was measured by the change of absorbance at 405/660 nm. The enzymatic cycling method could detect 0.22 micromol/L total bile acids in serum. Within-run and between-run imprecisions were 1.2-3.7% and 2.3-4.8%, respectively. The calibration curve for total bile acids in serum was linear between 0.5 and 180 micromol/L. This method was free from interference by bilirubin, hemoglobin, ascorbate, and lactate dehydrogenase. In conclusion, serum total bile acids could be measured by the enzymatic cycling method with recombinant 3alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase as the tool enzyme.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D001647 Bile Acids and Salts Steroid acids and salts. The primary bile acids are derived from cholesterol in the liver and usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. The secondary bile acids are further modified by bacteria in the intestine. They play an important role in the digestion and absorption of fat. They have also been used pharmacologically, especially in the treatment of gallstones. Bile Acid,Bile Salt,Bile Salts,Bile Acids,Acid, Bile,Acids, Bile,Salt, Bile,Salts, Bile
