Immunoassay of tear lysozyme in conjunctival diseases. [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1982
The tear lysozyme content in 111 normal subjects and in 159 patients with various conjunctival diseases was determined by a single radial immunodiffusion technique. Tear lysozyme level in normal people was 1.33/mg/ml. (SI conversion: mg/ml = g/l.) The mean tear lysozyme levels in patients with chronic irritative conjunctivitis (0.97 mg/ml) and ...
