Abstract
An improved method for determining the concentration of arginase in serum. A test sample is treated stepwise with several reagents, including arginine, to produce an ornithine containing solution and the resulting sample is colorimetrically compared against a similar sample absent ornithine. From the resulting measurements an assay for arginase is computed. The improvement in this method lies principally in the elimination of a centrifugation and precipitation step and, also, in the elimination of a trichloroacetic acid reagent; thus affording an appreciably shorter assay procedure. In addition, this method utilizes less of a serum sample than is required in comparable assay procedures.
