Abstract
A novel process is described for hydrolyzing protein-bound cholesterol esters such as are found in blood serum. The method comprises contacting sample containing protein-bound cholesterol esters with a compatible mixture of an enzyme preparation which demonstrates cholesterol ester hydrolase activity and, as an effector, a surfactant which is an alkyl phenoxy polyethoxy ethanol comprising a polyoxyethylene chain of less than about 20 oxyethylene units. Hydrolysis compositions comprising compatible mixtures of an enzyme preparation which demonstrates cholesterol ester hydrolase activity and an effector which is a surfactant as described are also disclosed, as are analytical elements comprising at least one layer which includes such a hydrolysis composition.
