TL;DR
The precision is good and the accuracy acceptable, as judged by a comparison with an electroimmunoassay technique, and a reference range has been obtained using samples collected from blood donors.
Abstract
A simple, fast method for the measurement of serum alpha 1-antichymotrypsin by an immunoturbidimetric technique is described. The assay spans the range 0.21 g/L to 2.83 g/L which covers adequately the majority of concentrations encountered in normal and pathological sera. The precision is good and the accuracy acceptable, as judged by a comparison with an electroimmunoassay technique. A reference range has been obtained using samples collected from blood donors.

This work compared the methods of Deming, Mandel, and Bartlett in estimating the known slope of a regression line when the independent variable is measured with imprecision, and found the method of Demed to be the most useful.

Data indicate that serine-dependent proteases hae a critical role in triggering and/or effecting cell-mediated cytolysis, and it seems likely that several of the plasma antiproteases, including alpha 1 antitrypsin and alpha 1 antichymotryps in, are capable of influencing natural cytotoxicity.

A pre-treatment schedule for plasma samples to be analysed with immunonephelometry has been worked out using polyethylene glycol 6000 for precipitating the lipoproteins and a greater sensitivity of the method was gained by decreasing the blanks.

This chapter presents the procedure for purification and assaying of human α1antichymotrypsin (α l -Achy), which specifically inactivates serine proteinases of the chymotRYpsin class, which is primarily dependent on the adsorptive properties of Cibacron Blue Sepharose.
