Determination of immunoreactive trypsin, pancreatic elastase and chymotrypsin in extracts of human feces and ileostomy drainage. 1983

M Bohe, and A Borgström, and S Genell, and K Ohlsson

The total daily amount of extractable cationic trypsin, chymotrypsin, and pancreatic elastase 2 in feces and ileostomy fluids has been studied in normal individuals and healthy colectomized subjects. Quantitation was performed using immunological assays with polyethylene glycol as a fecal marker. The extractable amount of each of these enzymes in the feces of normal individuals was less than 1 mg/24 h. However, in fecal extracts from antibiotic-treated normal individuals a 100-fold increase in immunoreactive cationic trypsin was observed, while chymotrypsin and elastase 2 were only 2- to 3-fold higher. In extracts from ileostomy fluids cationic trypsin, elastase, and chymotrypsin all showed mean values in the order of 50-200 mg/24 h. The characterization of the immunoreactivity of pancreatic proteases showed no qualitative differences when measured in duodenal juice or fecal and ileostomy extracts.

D011092 Polyethylene Glycols Polymers of ETHYLENE OXIDE and water, and their ethers. They vary in consistency from liquid to solid depending on the molecular weight indicated by a number following the name. They are used as SURFACTANTS, dispersing agents, solvents, ointment and suppository bases, vehicles, and tablet excipients. Some specific groups are NONOXYNOLS, OCTOXYNOLS, and POLOXAMERS.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.
