| EX1446 LYSOZYME; MURAMIDASE |
| Specimen: |
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. |

| Usage: |
Lysozyme is a bacteriolytic enzyme primarily present in granulocytes, monocytes & histiocytes. The plasma levels reflect the degradation of granulocytes and monocytes. Increased levels are seen in benign conditions like infections and malignant processes like Leukemias. Lymphocytic leukemias show decreased levels. This assay is useful for confirming marked increases in the granulocyte or monocyte pools as in Granulocytic / Monocytic leukemias, Myeloproliferative disorders, and Malignant histiocytosis. |
