โœฆ Synopsis

A microassay system based on the effect of the catalytic Sandell-Kolthoff reaction of iodide on the oxidation of arsenic(III) by cerium(IV) was developed to measure iodine-containing compounds. This rapid assay uses small quantities of reagents, is suitable for use with a photometric microplate reader, can test many samples simultaneously, and eliminates problems associated with the use of radiolabeled compounds to measure iodination. It can detect picogram quantities of iodide. We report the use of this assay to measure the conjugation of an iodine-containing hapten (iodinated Bolton-Hunter reagent, IBHR) to ovalbumin and human serum albumin. It has proven to be excellent for studying the relative molar catalytic activity of the iodine-containing compounds IBHR, thyroxine, 4-iodophenol, and lithium 3,4-diiodosalicylate. The interference by azide on the assay was investigated.

The method proposed for measuring glutathione peroxydase (GSH-Px) activity is based on the determination of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) using o-phtalaldehyde (OPT) as a fluorescent reagent. This method makes it possible to study the kinetics of both substrates (peroxide and reduced ghrtathione, GSH)
