LYSOZYME MURAMIDASE Test
Test Name: LYSOZYME MURAMIDASE Test
Components: Enzymatic test to measure lysozyme activity
Price: 1260.0 AED
Sample Condition: 2 mL (1 mL min.) serum from 1 SST. Separate serum within 1 hour of collection in a plastic transport vial. Ship refrigerated or frozen. Delayed separation of the serum can result in spuriously high levels of lysozyme, presumably because of the breakdown of leukocytes. Duly filled Test Send Out Consent Form is mandatory.
Report Delivery: Sample by 7th of the month; Report after 2-3 weeks
Method: Enzymatic
Test Type: Cancer
Doctor: Oncologist
Test Department: OS
Pre Test Information: Duly filled Test Send Out Consent Form is mandatory.
Test Details
The LYSOZYME MURAMIDASE test is a laboratory assay used to measure the activity of the enzyme lysozyme in biological samples. Lysozyme is an enzyme that can break down the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls, leading to bacterial lysis.
The test involves adding a standardized suspension of Micrococcus lysodeikticus (a bacteria that is sensitive to lysozyme) to a sample containing lysozyme. The sample is then incubated for a specific period of time, allowing the lysozyme to act on the bacteria. After incubation, the suspension is mixed with a dye that binds to the bacterial cell wall fragments released by the action of lysozyme. The intensity of the color produced is directly proportional to the lysozyme activity in the sample. This can be measured using a spectrophotometer, which quantifies the absorbance of the colored solution. A higher absorbance indicates higher lysozyme activity.
The LYSOZYME MURAMIDASE test is commonly used in clinical settings to assess lysozyme levels in various body fluids, such as tears, saliva, and serum. It can help diagnose conditions associated with altered lysozyme activity, such as infections, inflammatory diseases, and certain types of cancer.
