We describe a new double-antibody ELISA system using avidin-biotin amplication for the mass measurement of mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (m-AST) in human serum. The assay is very sensitive and as little as 0.5 ng/ml of m-AST may be detected. The method is linear up to 100 micrograms/l. The within-day and day-to-day coefficients of variation were found to be 8.9% and 11.5% respectively for a low m-AST concentration (2.7 micrograms/l), and 5.9% and 8.0% respectively for a high level of m-AST (30 micrograms/l). The assay requires 100 microliters of serum and can be completed within 5 h. The ELISA procedure and a classical immunoprecipitation technique measuring the catalytic activity of the isoenzyme were applied simultaneously to the sera of 189 subjects. The protein levels determined by ELISA correlated poorly (r = 0.66) with the catalytic activity of m-AST.
