Evaluation of the Bradford method for protein determination in body fluids.

The applicability of a dye binding method for protein determination described by Bradford (1976), Anal. Biochem. 72, 248--254) for use in the clinical chemical laboratory was studied. The simple, fast and sensitive method is well suitable for protein determination of cerebrospinal fluid but not for urinary protein. Polymer carbohydrates (Macrodex) do not interfere with dye binding.
