Title:
BILIRUBIN SPECIFIC ENZYME, ANALYTICAL ELEMENT, ANALYTICAL METHOD AND ITS USE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS6078580
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A bilirubin-specific enzyme is obtained from various higher plant sources of the families Solanaceae, Musaceae and Liliaceae. Specific plant sources include eggplants, tomatoes and potatoes from the Solanaceae family, bananas from the Musaceae family, and onions and garlic from the Liliaceae family. The enzyme can be used in wet and dry analytical methods either in assays for bilirubin (unconjugated or conjugated forms or total bilirubin) or to suppress bilirubin interference in assays for other analytes. The enzyme can also be used in a bilirubin-degrading method for treating an aqueous liquid, e.g. whole blood, which contains excess bilirubin.
