Aim: To determine the complex of AST and immunoglobulin and to investigate its clinical significance in patients with liver disease.
Methods: The complex of AST and immunoglobulin was determined by encounter immunoelectrophoresis and its clinical significance was investigated in 128 patients with liver disease.
Results: AST was bound to immunoglobulin of anti-immunoglobulin A (IgA) class, but any binding to anti-immunoglobulin G and anti-immunoglobulin M classes was not observed.
