Perchloric acid treatment of human blood for quantitative endotoxin assay using synthetic chromogenic substrate for horseshoe crab clotting enzyme. 1982

H Tamura, and T Obayashi, and K Takagi, and S Tanaka, and C Nakahara, and T Kawai

A new reliable human blood treatment was established for quantitative endotoxin assay using synthetic chromogenic substrate [Boc-Leu-Gly-Arg-rho-nitroanilide]. Addition of perchloric acid in a final concentration of 1.25% to platelet-rich plasma or serum in a 2:1 volume ratio completely eliminated nonspecific amidase activities as well as inhibitors. By this method, the recovery of added endotoxin was nearly 100%, and was almost independent of sample dilutions and anticoagulants.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008033 Limulus Test Sensitive method for detection of bacterial endotoxins and endotoxin-like substances that depends on the in vitro gelation of Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL), prepared from the circulating blood (amebocytes) of the horseshoe crab, by the endotoxin or related compound. Used for detection of endotoxin in body fluids and parenteral pharmaceuticals. Limulus Tests,Test, Limulus,Tests, Limulus
