DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a reagent for measuring lysozyme activity. Measurement of lysozyme activity in body fluids has high clinical significance as it provides useful information for diagnosing acute monocytic leukemia and atypical tuberculosis and screening for renal disease. (Prior art) Lysozyme activity has conventionally been measured in living bacterial cells, such as Micrococcus lysodeichteicus.
lysodeiktcus) as a substrate, and its bacteriolysis rate was used to determine the activity, but it was not quantitative and had low sensitivity, the measurement time was long (more than half a day), and since the substrate was live bacterial cells, there was a large variation between preparations. As a result, the variation in measured values was large, and it was never put to practical use as a clinical diagnostic method. On the other hand, a method for measuring lysozyme has recently been proposed using as a substrate a compound in which a color-forming substance, such as p-nitrophenol, is bound as an aglycone to an oligomer of N-acetylglucosamine (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1983-1983-1).
Publication No. 38504). This method has superior quantitative performance compared to the above method using live bacteria, but the effect of lysozyme
Because the pH (around 6.0) and the pH (8.5 or higher) at which p-nitrophenol produced by hydrolysis develops color are different, the enzymatic reaction and the coloring reaction cannot be performed under the same conditions, so the number of reagents and operations are different. Rate assay has many steps and is said to be most suitable for determining enzyme activity.
There is a drawback that it cannot be done. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) An object of the present invention is to provide a reagent for measuring lysozyme activity that enables rate assay of lysozyme with excellent quantitative properties. (Means for solving the problem) In order to achieve the above object, the present inventors
After extensive research, we found that by using N-acetyl chito-oligosaccharide as a substrate and N-acetylhexosamine oxidase as a conjugate enzyme in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (hereinafter abbreviated as ATP), we found that lysozyme activity in body fluids can be increased. We have discovered that rate assays can be easily and accurately performed in a short period of time, and have arrived at the present invention. That is, the present invention
- A reagent for measuring lysozyme activity characterized by containing acetyl chito-oligosaccharide, N-acetylhexosamine oxidase and adenosine triphosphate. As the N-acetylchito-oligosaccharide used in the present invention, there are compounds represented by the following general formula. (In the formula, n = 3 or 4) Specifically, they are chitopentaose (n = 3) and chitohexaose (n = 4). N-acetylhexosamine oxidase (hereinafter abbreviated as NAHOD) used in the present invention is N-
It can be of any origin as long as it produces hydrogen peroxide using acetylglucosamine as a substrate, but for example, Pseudomonas
There is NAHOD produced by microorganisms belonging to the genus.
The purification and properties of NAHOD were presented at the 1981 Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Agricultural Chemistry. The lysozyme activity measurement test of the present invention uses the above substrate,
Contains enzymes and ATP. The reagent has a pH of 4.0 to 9.0.
It is preferable to include a buffer having a pH of 5.0 to 7.0, such as a phosphate buffer, or a citric acid buffer, a phthalate buffer, or a good buffer as an organic acid buffer. There are no particular restrictions on the substrate concentration, but
Preferably, the concentration exhibiting the maximum lysozyme enzyme activity is appropriate, for example, 0.05M or higher. Next, there is no particular limit to the amount of NAHOD, which is a coupling enzyme, but it is preferable to add it at a concentration that exhibits maximum lysozyme activity, that is, an amount that can follow 100% of the lysozyme enzymatic reaction. For example,
It is 0.05U/ml or more. A required amount of ATP of 1 mM or more is sufficient. Methods for measuring lysozyme activity using the reagent for measuring lysozyme activity of the present invention include reacting a sample with the reagent and measuring the generated hydrogen peroxide directly with a hydrogen peroxide electrode, or using peroxidase, carralase, etc. Hydrogen peroxide is introduced into a color system using an enzyme for colorimetric determination, or
There is a method of directly measuring the oxygen consumed during NAHOD action using an oxygen electrode, etc. (Action) In the reagent for measuring lysozyme activity of the present invention,
By activating the action of NAHOD by ATP, lysozyme activity in body fluids can be accurately and easily rate assayed in a short time. (Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to Examples. Example 1 The amount of lysozyme activity in the test solution was measured using the following reagent and the following method. 1 Reagent Reagent R 1 : NAHOD 2 units peroxidase 100 units Color developer (TOOS) 2 mg 4-aminoantipyrine 0.5 mg ATP 1.0 mMole 0.1 M citrate phosphate buffer (PH6.0) Total volume 10 ml TOOS: N-Ethyl-N- (2-Hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-m-toluidine-sodium reagent R2 : Chitopentaose 5mM 0.1M citric acid-phosphate buffer (PH6.0) 2 Measurement method Test solution or known concentration of lysozyme 50 μ of sample containing 2 ml of reagent R 1 and reagent R 2
500μ was added and reacted at 37°C, the absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 550 nm to determine the color development rate, and the lysozyme activity in the sample was determined by comparing the color development rate with a known concentration. The reaction curve is shown in FIG. 1, and the calibration curve is shown in FIG. Example 2 The amount of lysozyme activity (20 mg/dl of known concentration of lysozyme) in the test solution was measured using the reagent R 1 of Example 1 and the following reagent R 2 . In addition, the amount of lysozyme activity in the test solution without ATP was measured using reagent R 3 , which had the same composition except that ATP was removed from reagent R 1 in Example 1, and the following reagent R 2 . . The results are shown in Table 1. As is clear from Table 1, the absorbance is approximately 1.4 times higher when ATP is added. Reagent R 2 consists of the following composition. Chitohexaose 5mM 0.1M citric acid-phosphate buffer PH6.0 [Table]
