Latest Patents
William A Abbott's latest patents include a "Method and reagent system for assaying isoenzyme profiles." This invention discloses a rapid assay method for quantitatively determining the complete isoenzyme profile of a biological fluid. It also features a multiple-assay reagent system for carrying out the method. In one preferred embodiment, the system quantifies the complete isoenzyme profile of lactate dehydrogenase in blood serum, based on two measured parameters and three performed assays. Another significant patent is the "Method and reagent for determining LD-1 isoenzyme." This invention provides a rapid and specific method for determining the LD-1 isoenzyme in biological fluids by incorporating a chaotropic agent, such as sodium perchlorate, into an LDH assay reagent system. The chaotropic agent produces an immediate inactivation of the LDH isoenzymes containing one or more 'M' type subunits while the LD-1 isoenzyme remains stable and is simultaneously measured.
