Abstract
A choline oxidase-peroxidase coupled enzyme procedures is proposed for the determination of cholinesterase activity in human serum. This system is not only kinetic and colorimetric but is also relatively quick and simple to perform. The initial comparisons suggest that this method correlates well with a commonly used propionylthiocholine-dinitrobis-(nitro-benzoic acid) technique. Large amounts of bilirubin in the sample appear to have only minor deleterious effects on the assay. Since there are only two reagents that may be premixed, the procedure appears to be amenable to automation. The use of a mixture of sodium 2-hydroxy-3,5-dichlorobenzenesulfonate and 4-aminoantipyrene in the peroxidase catalyzed indicator reaction provides for a marked increase in sensitivity over previously reported 4-aminoantipyrene-phenol systems. This augmented sensitivity provides for a relatively large reagent to sample ratio. In addition, the reagents lend themselves toward lyophilization or "dry-fill".
