The high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method we devised for assay of acid ceramidase activity involves coupling of a fluorescent probe to the enzymatically released sphingosine in the reaction mixture and detection of the fluorescent sphingosine derivative by reverse-phase HPLC. Using the method, acid ceramidase activity in fibroblast homogenates was accurately assayed, with or without the addition of exogenous ceramide, as the substrate, and the patients and carriers of Farber's disease could be readily diagnosed.
我们设计的用于测定酸性神经酰胺酶活性的高效液相色谱(HPLC)方法,包括将荧光探针与反应混合物中酶促释放的鞘氨醇偶联,并通过反相HPLC检测荧光鞘氨醇衍生物。使用该方法,可以准确测定成纤维细胞匀浆中的酸性神经酰胺酶活性,无论是否添加外源性神经酰胺作为底物,并且可以很容易地诊断出法伯病的患者和携带者。
