fugation at 1000 g for 10 min. 1.0 ml digitonin 0.01 X is --added to the wells to lyse ~he c211s which are loosened by scraping with a rubber policeman and left at 4 C for :~
10 min. Lactate dehydrogenase measurements are then performed . immediately and the samples stored at - 20 ~ C until the other determinations can be made. The assays are: IL~
