[Quantitative determination of serum proteins using a new laser nephelometer (author's transl)]. 1978

B Baruth, and M J Caputo, and H Deicher, and H Leyssens

Methodological aspects of quantitative serum protein determinations, using a newly developed laser nephelometer (PDQTM laser nephelometer, Hyland), are reported. For within-day precision, determination of the four serum proteins IgG, IgA, IgM and C'3, showed coefficients of variation between 2.5% and 4.6%. For precision from day to day, the average variation coefficient was 8%, the lowest value being 5%. Provisional normal values for the four proteins were ascertained from a small group of 60 healthy individuals. These results, as well as those obtained in states of disease, correlate with values obtained by radial immunodiffusion. It is concluded that the method is reliable, and has a number of important advantages compared to radial immunodiffusion; namely, the much higher precision, better sensitivity, particularly in lower concentration ranges, and availability of results within two hours.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007070 Immunoglobulin A Represents 15-20% of the human serum immunoglobulins, mostly as the 4-chain polymer in humans or dimer in other mammals. Secretory IgA (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, SECRETORY) is the main immunoglobulin in secretions. IgA,IgA Antibody,IgA1,IgA2,Antibody, IgA
D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B. Gamma Globulin, 7S,IgG,IgG Antibody,Allerglobuline,IgG(T),IgG1,IgG2,IgG2A,IgG2B,IgG3,IgG4,Immunoglobulin GT,Polyglobin,7S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgG,GT, Immunoglobulin
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

D003176 Complement C3 A glycoprotein that is central in both the classical and the alternative pathway of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION. C3 can be cleaved into COMPLEMENT C3A and COMPLEMENT C3B, spontaneously at low level or by C3 CONVERTASE at high level. The smaller fragment C3a is an ANAPHYLATOXIN and mediator of local inflammatory process. The larger fragment C3b binds with C3 convertase to form C5 convertase.
