Activity of serum cytidine deaminase during pregnancy.   Document Language : English  Abstract : A simple and reliable method for the estimation of cytidine deaminase (cytidine aminohydrolase; EC 3.5.4.5) activity in pregnancy serum is described. This enzyme does not require magnesium for activation and is also more stable than deoxycytidylate deaminase (dCMP deaminase, dCMP aminohydrolase; EC 3.5.4.12). There was excellent correlation between the two enzymes (r = 0.92). Both enzymes showed increased activity in abnormal pregnancy. Both enzymes activities were found to be similar in 1305 maternal serum samples and therefore due to the simplicity of cytidine deaminase estimation it is recommended for the screening of large numbers of antenatal sera for abnormal pregnancies.  ISSN : 0940-5429  Journal Name : Br J Obstet Gynaecol  Volume : 89  Issue Number : 4  Publishing Year : 1982 AH 1982 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Wednesday, March 24, 2010  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email سهاد باحجري BAHIJRI, SUHAD Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  26165.1 1   Back To Researches Page
