The specific and non-specific tear proteins have been analysed by means of the ELISA technique to establish the normal and age-related values. There is a linear and related decline of lysozyme and lactoferrin with age, and a similar but unrelated reduction in tear volume. IgA levels gradually decline, while caeruloplasmin and IgG both increase after the fifth decade. The results suggest that tear IgG and caeruloplasmin are probably transudates from the serum, that IgA is secreted independently of tear volume, and that lysozyme and lactoferrin are secreted at the same site but independently of tear volume.
已通过酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)技术分析了特异性和非特异性泪液蛋白,以确定正常和与年龄相关的值。溶菌酶和乳铁蛋白的含量随年龄呈线性相关下降,泪液量也有类似但不相关的减少。免疫球蛋白A(IgA)水平逐渐下降,而血浆铜蓝蛋白和免疫球蛋白G(IgG)在50岁以后均升高。结果表明,泪液IgG和血浆铜蓝蛋白可能是血清的漏出液,IgA的分泌与泪液量无关,溶菌酶和乳铁蛋白在同一部位分泌,但与泪液量无关。
