[The determination of sialidase activity in the blood serum and saliva]
Abstract
A method for sialidase (neuraminidase; EC 3.2.1.18) measurements in the blood serum and saliva has been developed. The activity of this enzyme in the blood serum manifests in repeated intensive stressogenic exposures, malignant tumors and acute respiratory diseases. Salivary sialidase activity is elevated in the patients with multiple dental caries.
