Abstract
This invention relates to a process, to a diagnostic agent employed therein and to the use thereof, for the organ-specific and/or disease-specific diagnosis of the isozyme pattern of an enzyme occurring in multiple molecular configurations in a sample of human body fluids, tissue extracts or excretions, wherein total enzyme activity is quantitatively measured employing a conventional agent for the determination of enzyme activity, which comprises selectively forming an isozyme-antibody complex of a diagnostically relevant isozyme of the isozyme pattern of the enzyme present in the sample by employing a homologous antisera against the same human isozyme in a form free from the immunological activity of other isozymes of the same enzyme, separating the thus-formed isozyme-antibody complex substantially quantitatively, and measuring residual enzyme activity of the enzyme present in the sample.
