Abstract
We have developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for glycocholic acid in dried blood spotted on a filter paper.
The linear range of this assay was 1 to 32 nmol/ml and the coefficient of variation of within and between the assay range was 2.6-8.9% and 3.4-8.2%, respectively.
The average concentration of the glycocholic acid value in normal newborn babies was 8.25 nmol/ml, and that in babies with congenital biliary atresia (CBA) was 49.26nmol/ml (n=24).
This method will be applicable in mass screening for CBA.
