Popis: To establish ELISA method for quantitate the concentration of cystatin C (cys C) and to monitor the renal function of patients before and after renal transplantation.Hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against human cys C were produced and sandwich ELISA kit for quantitatively detecting cys C was established. Then the concentrations of serum cystatin C (Scys C) and urine cystatin C (Ucys C) from normal controls and 23 patients undergoing renal transplantation were detected and their relationship with serum creatinine (SCR) was analyzed.Seven hybridomas secreting anti-cys C mAbs were obtained. The sensitivity of the established ELISA kit reached 0.1 μg/L. The concentrations of Scys C and Ucys C of normal healthy controls were in accordance with other report. High correlations between Scys C or Ucys C and the level of SCR were observed (P0.01). Rapid decline of Scys C and Ucys C concentrations was consistent with the decrease of SCR in the patients with normal course (NC) recovery after renal transplantation. However, Ucys C kept higher level within two weeks after the operation in patients with AR until the day 21. In patients with DGF, higher levels of Scys C, Ucys C and SCR were sustained within four weeks after renal transplantation.The sensitive ELISA kit for detection of cys C has been established. Importantly, there are the persistently high levels of Scys C and Ucys C in patients with AR or DGF, which can be used as a novel indicator for monitoring renal function after renal transplantation.
