Serum RNase activity

serum RNase enzymatic activity was assayed using two substrates: t-RNA (T) from E. coli MRE 600 and the synthetic polycytidylic acid (poly-C). Elevated serum ribonuclease activity (SRA) was expressed in terms of the amount of bovine serum RNaseA from bovine pancreas in ngeq/ml that yields the same extinction Coeff. at the 260 nm wavelength.
