Different methods of lymphocyte proliferation are compared to identify a non-radioactive alternative to 3H-thymidine-test. The enzymatic assays evaluating the turnover of mitochondrial dehydrogenases (MTT-test) and lysosomal hexosaminidase (NAG-test) proved not sensitive enough to substitute for 3H-thymidine incorporation. The incorporation of the nucleotide analog 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) can be exploited using an ELISA-system (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) employing a monoclonal anti-BrdU antibody to measure cell proliferation. An optimized test protocol of the BrdU-ELISA which fulfills the requirements for a sensitive and practicable non-radioactive alternative to 3H-thymidine-test is presented.
比较了不同的淋巴细胞增殖方法,以确定一种替代³H-胸腺嘧啶核苷检测的非放射性方法。评估线粒体脱氢酶周转率的酶法检测(MTT检测)和溶酶体己糖胺酶(NAG检测)被证明不够灵敏,无法替代³H-胸腺嘧啶核苷掺入法。可以利用核苷酸类似物5-溴脱氧尿苷(BrdU)的掺入,采用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)系统,使用单克隆抗BrdU抗体来测量细胞增殖。本文介绍了一种优化的BrdU-ELISA检测方案,该方案满足了作为³H-胸腺嘧啶核苷检测灵敏且实用的非放射性替代方法的要求。
