    Patent number: 6194163
    Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a method for the quantitative determination of human acute phase serum amyloid A protein (A-SAA) comprising contacting a sample of a biological fluid with antibody specific for A-SAA, the sample being reacted with an organic solvent prior to or simultaneous with antibody contact. The organic solvent is suitably a C1 or C4 alcohol and the antibody can be used on the solid phase and as a component of the detection system of an enzyme linked immunosorbant assay. The method provides a sensitive and reliable measure of A-SAA and inflammatory status which can be used for the diagnosis and clinical management of both acute and chronic inflammatory conditions.
