A simple and convenient assay for indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase has been developed. This depends on the conversion of D-[ring-2-14C]tryptophan to [14C]formate, excess substrate is removed by adsorption onto charcoal. This assay, which is 20-fold more sensitive than previous procedures, is applicable both to crude extracts and to large numbers of samples. Activity in rat tissues is very much lower than in those of the rabbit; measureable activity is found only in the stomach, spleen, intestine and kidney. Enzyme activity in the rat intestine was increased by 50% in rats pretreated with L-tryptophan.
已开发出一种简单便捷的吲哚胺2,3-双加氧酶检测方法。该方法基于将D-[环-2-¹⁴C]色氨酸转化为[¹⁴C]甲酸,通过吸附到活性炭上去除过量底物。此检测方法比以前的方法灵敏20倍,适用于粗提物和大量样本。大鼠组织中的活性远低于兔子;仅在胃、脾、肠和肾中发现可测量的活性。用L-色氨酸预处理的大鼠,其肠中的酶活性增加了50%。
