ABSTRACT:
This is an immunochemical assay that uses enzyme-linked immunosorbence to detect the presence of antibodies against environmental protein sequences that mimic the human opioid peptide dynorphin in samples of human body fluid. The assay makes it possible to correlate and diagnose psychobiological or medical disorders related to alterations in the normal levels of dynorphin peptides or their receptors.
