Determination of creatine kinase MB activity with the Du Pont aca: interferences from the sample matrix. 1984

W Stein, and J Bohner

During the last three years we and other have observed discrepancies between results for creatine kinase isoenzyme MB as measured with the mechanized ion-exchange chromatographic method in the Du Pont aca and those by other techniques. These observations prompted us to investigate the influence of the matrix on the Du Pont CK-MB assay. We conclude that, apart from possible interferences by CK-MM, CK-BB, and both types of macro CK, the aca will give apparent CK-MB activities that are directly related to protein concentration and inversely related to sodium chloride concentration. Practical consequences for the routine and emergency laboratories are: no diluted samples are allowed; application is restricted to samples from patients suspected of acute myocardial infarction which show upper-normal total CK activity; and multiple timed samples are run, in order to recognize the typical change in enzyme pattern with time.

D003402 Creatine Kinase A transferase that catalyzes formation of PHOSPHOCREATINE from ATP + CREATINE. The reaction stores ATP energy as phosphocreatine. Three cytoplasmic ISOENZYMES have been identified in human tissues: the MM type from SKELETAL MUSCLE, the MB type from myocardial tissue and the BB type from nervous tissue as well as a mitochondrial isoenzyme. Macro-creatine kinase refers to creatine kinase complexed with other serum proteins.
