Immunochemical determination of human tear lysozyme (muramidase) in keratoconjunctivitis sicca.

Radial immunodiffusion was tested as an alternative for the agar diffusion assay for lysozyme in tear fluid. The influence of interactions between lysozyme and agarose or filter paper, used for sample collection, on the results of the immunodiffusion test was investigated. In 100 tear samples from 50 healthy volunteers and average lysozyme concentration of 1.9 g/l was found. Lysozyme values obtained by both methods in the tear fluid of a group of 78 volunteers, ranging from healthy individuals to severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca patients were compared. A lower limit of normal at 1.1 g/l was found by the radial immunodiffusion assay.

Distribution of lysozyme (muramidase) and alpha 1-antichymotrypsin in normal and neoplastic epithelial tissues: a survey.

Lysozyme and alpha 1-antichymotrypsin are useful in differentiation of histiocytic tumours. Both enzymes, however, also can be expressed in epithelial tissues. In contrast to lysozyme, alpha 1-antichymotrypsin is more often found to be positive in non-histiocytic neoplasias. In general, the activity of parent tissue is retained in tumour cells. In malignant melanoma and in single cases of other epithelial tumours an activity of alpha 1-antichymotrypsin was found which could not be demonstrated in normal parent tissue and which may find its explanation in a dedifferentiation of tumour cells.
