Detection of human elastase isoforms by the ScheBo Pancreatic Elastase 1 Test. [PDF]
Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol, 2017 Determination of fecal pancreatic elastase content by ELISA is a reliable, noninvasive clinical test for assessing exocrine pancreatic function. Despite the widespread use of commercial tests, their exact molecular targets remain poorly characterized.

Pancreatic phospholipase A2 activity in acute pancreatitis: A prognostic marker for early identification of patients at risk [PDF]
, 2002 Remarkably elevated levels of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) are measurable in human blood samples in cases of acute pancreatitis. The source of the enzyme was first thought to be exclusively the pancreas, but now it is generally accepted that two ...

Studies on porcine pancreatic elastase activity. I. Radioimmuoassay of porcine pancreatic elastase.
The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1980 An improved method of radioimmunoassay was devised to offer a successful formula for determining blood concentration of elastase. With porcine pancreatic elastase as the antigen, rabbits were immunized to obtain antiserum. Iodinated elastase labeled by the chloramine-T procedure using 131I (or 125I) had a specific activity of 200-300 mCi/mg. The double
