Abstract
A relatively simple immunoassay for quantitative determination of human erythrocyte
catalase is described. In hemolysates from 45 healthy individuals the enzyme concentration
was 1.95 ± 0.37 μg per milligram Hb (range 1.37 to 2.82). The values obtained with
the immunoassay were almost identical to those determined by the complicated enzymatic
measurement (1.74 ± 0.34). The advantages of the immunoassay for a large number of
determinations in various physiologic, genetic, and pathologic conditions are discussed.
