Abstract excerpt
Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) has been established as a valuable biological marker for detecting chronic alcohol abuse. To improve the diagnostic efficiency, we studied new CDT determination procedures involving the use of lectin affinity chromatography with Allomyrina dichotoma agglutinin (allo A) and Trichosanthes japonica agglutinin I (TJA-I) to isolate the CDT isoforms CDT-allo A and CDT-TJA,...
