Assay

Principle

The assay is based on the increase in absorbance at 493 nm as the formation of quinoneimine dye proceeds in the following reactions:

	CEN
Cholesterol ester+H₂O	→	Cholesterol+Fatty acid
	CO
Cholesterol+O₂	→	△4 –Cholesten–3–one+H₂O₂
	POD
2 H₂O₂+4 –AA+Phenol	→	Quinoneimine dye+4 H₂O

CO : Cholesterol oxidase

Unit definition

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 μmole of cholesterol per minute at 37℃ under the conditions specified in the assay procedure.

Enzyme solution

Accurately weigh about 20 mg of the sample and add enzyme dilution buffer to make a total of 20 ml.

Dilute it with enzyme dilution buffer to adjust the concentration to within 0.3–0.5 U/ml.

Procedure

Pipette accurately 3.0 ml of reaction mixture into a small test tube and preincubate it at 37℃.
After 10 min, add 50 μl of enzyme solution and mix to start the reaction at 37℃.

※ In the case of a test blank, add 50 μl of enzyme dilution buffer in place of enzyme solution.
After starting the reaction, measure the rate of increase per minute in absorbance at 493 nm. The rate must be measured within the linear portion of the absorbance curve.

Absorbance sample : As/min

blank : Ab/min

△A/min = (As/min－Ab/min) ≦ 0.050 Abs/min

Calculation

Activity (U/mg of powder) = {(△A/min) /(12.0×1/2)}× 3.05/0.05 × 1/x

Calculation

12.0 :	millimolar extinction coefficient of quinoneimine dye at 493 nm ( cm² /μmole)
1/2 :	a multiplier derived from the fact that 2 mole of H₂O₂ produce 1 mole of quinoneimine dye
3.05 :	final volume (ml)
0.05 :	volume of enzyme solution (ml)
X :	concentration of the sample in enzyme solution ( mg/ml)

Storage

Storage at –20℃ in the presence of a desiccant is recommended. Enzyme activity will be retained for at least one year under this condition (Figure 4)

酵素試料液

検品約20mg を精密に量り、酵素溶解希釈用液に溶解して全容20ml とする。
その液を酵素溶解希釈用液で0.3～0.5U/ml 濃度となるように適宜希釈する。

測定操作法

小試験管に反応試薬混合液を3.0ml 正確に分注して37℃で予備加温する。
10 分経過後、酵素試料液50 μl を正確に加えて混和し、37℃で反応を開始する。

※ 盲検は酵素試料液の代わりに酵素溶解希釈用液50 μl を加える。
反応開始後、493nm における吸光度を測定して直線的に反応している1 分間当たりの吸光度変化を求める。
求められた吸光度変化を試料液はAs/min、盲検液はAb/min とする。
ΔA/min = (As/min－Ab/min) ≦ 0.050 Abs/min
