Popis: Class Alpha glutathione S-transferases (GST-Alpha) are found in high concentrations in human liver. Increased plasma concentrations of GSTA1-1, the most abundant isoform of GST-Alpha, are a very sensitive marker for hepatocellular leakage. A sandwich-type ELISA was developed, based on a monoclonal antibody specific for human GSTA1-1 and a polyclonal rabbit anti-human GST-Alpha antiserum. The assay is specific for human GSTA1-1, and has a detection limit of 0.04 micrograms/L. The distribution of plasma GSTA1-1 concentrations in 350 blood donors was nearly normalized by logarithmic transformation and an upper normal reference concentration of 5.9 micrograms/L was calculated. Men had significantly higher plasma GSTA1-1 concentrations than women (P
