A method is described for measuring the elastin content of whole tissue. Desmosine and isodesmosine, the cross-linking amino acids unique to elasiin, were first separated by paper chromatography and then quantitated by amino acid analysis. Results compared favorably to those obtained with gravimetri

This separation method is increasingly finding applications in environmental, food, pharmaceutical and clinical analysis. The completely revised and updated fourth edition of this best-selling classic is a thorough treatment of the subject while remaining concise and readable. Alongside ion exchang
Quantitation of desmosine and isodesmosine, the major crosslinks in elastin, has been of interest because of their uniqueness and use as markers of that protein. Accurate measurement of these crosslinks may allow determination of elastin degradation in vivo and elastin content in tissues, obviating
We developed a rapid and simple method for estimating tissue elastin content by measuring desmosine (D) in tissue hydrolysates by competitive ELISA. We compared the ELISA previously reported HPLC methods. When D or isodesmosine (ID) in hydrolysate of the same elastin preparation were measured by the
