Abstract
A new, rapid and reproducible method is described for the quantification of in vitro monocyte adherence in microtitre 96-well ELISA plates. The assay is based on the measurement of the myeloperoxidase activity in monocytes that have adhered to either plastic or bovine/porcine aortic endothelial cells. The assay shows a linear response to monocyte concentrations over the range 5 x 10(4)-5 x 10(5) cells/well. The method provides good discrimination between monocyte and and lymphocytes and thus allows a study of mononuclear cell populations to be made. The assay works equally well with polymorphonuclear cells. The coefficients of variation are: intra-assay, 7%; interassay, 13%.Entities:
