Abstract excerpt
We present a new, simple, and inexpensive sandwich-type double-antibody enzyme immunoassay for alpha 1-antitrypsin in dried blood collected on the fifth day post-partum. The method is very sensitive, having a detection limit of 2.84 fmol/well. Intra- and interassay CVs are 6.1% and 10.3%, respectively, for assay of 5-mm-diameter blood spots eluted into 7 mL of phosphate buffer. Since February 1984, we have used...
