Abstract
A new method was developed for the measurement of collagenase activity using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Rabbit colon wall collagenase, pepsin-soluble rat skin type I collagen, and its antisera were used in the present experiment. After the collagenase-degraded portion of the collagen coated on the microwell was released, the immunoreaction of the residual collagen on the microwell to anticollagen sera was determined by ELISA. This method was approximately 10 times more sensitive than the conventional assay procedure using [14C]-glycine-labeled reconstituted collagen fibrils as substrate. It was suitable for screening a large number of samples without radioisotopes.Entities:
