Abstract:
The method of estimation of lysozyme activity in serum when chitin azure is used as substrate is described. The basis of incubation medium is 0,1 M acetate buffer, pH 5,0. It was judged about activity of lysozyme by fluorescence of azure in incubation medium at the end of three hour incubation at 37°C after separation of non-reacted chitin azure by short time centrifugation. It was shown that development of wound infection is accompanied by increasing of chitinase activity of lysozyme in serum.
