Abstract
An immunoturbidometric assay was developed for the measurement of proteins in culture fluids of hepatocytes. The assay is simple to perform and avoids the biohazards associated with radioimmunoassays. The limit of detection of this assay exemplified by hemopexin and transferrin is 5 ng/ml protein. This degree of sensitivity is attained by incorporating into the procedure the addition of polyethylene glycol to enhance formation of primary antigen-antibody complexes and of a second antibody to further increase the immune complex size, which favors the ratio of specific to background light scattering.
