pubmed-article:3893797 | pubmed:abstractText | A monoclonal antibody (66C7) was prepared that specifically binds human salivary amylase (EC 3.2.1.1); it cross reacts with human pancreatic amylase by less than 1%. Two procedures are described for determination of isoamylases in human serum with this antibody: an enzyme immunoassay for determining amylase of salivary origin, and a routine method in which this amylase is immunoprecipitated and the remaining (pancreatic) amylase activity is assayed. Results by the two methods correlate well. | lld:pubmed |
