Monoclonal antibodies against inter-alpha-trypsin-inhibitor (ITI) were produced. One clone showing specificity for urinary trypsin inhibitor (UTI), a proteolytic fragment of ITI, which is excreted into urine, was selected for the establishment of an enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA). The ELISA for the quantification of UTI was shown to work reproducibly in the range between 0.5 and 10 ng UTI/ml urine. Urines of several patients suffering from different lung diseases were screened for UTI using the established ELISA. Highest UTI levels were found in the urine of patients with lung empyema. A more moderate increase was observed in patients suffering from lung tuberculosis and from secondary and primary lung tumors.
制备了抗α-胰蛋白酶抑制剂(ITI)的单克隆抗体。选择了一个对尿胰蛋白酶抑制剂(UTI)具有特异性的克隆,UTI是ITI的一种蛋白水解片段,可排泄到尿液中,用于建立酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)。用于定量UTI的ELISA在0.5至10 ng UTI/ml尿液范围内具有可重复性。使用已建立的ELISA对几名患有不同肺部疾病的患者的尿液进行UTI筛查。在肺脓肿患者的尿液中发现UTI水平最高。在患有肺结核以及继发性和原发性肺部肿瘤的患者中观察到UTI水平有较为适度的升高。
