Implication

May facilitate routine CK isoenzyme differentiation in labs; leaves open prospective clinical validation before adoption.

Key Points

The aim is to develop methods to quantitatively measure creatine kinase isoenzyme concentrations in serum.
Two immunological methods were developed: Inhibition Test using inhibiting antibodies and Precipitation Test using precipitating antibodies.
Inhibition Test assesses creatine kinase MB levels; Precipitation Test differentiates between MM, MB, and BB isoenzymes.
Specificity, correlation, and practical applications of both methods were analyzed.
Inhibition Test effectively measures creatine kinase MB concentrations.
Precipitation Test serves as a reliable control to identify potential creatine kinase BB activities.
