2113101 9301306 PCTABS00019 Methods for detecting granulocytes and for providing an at least semiquantitative indication of granulocyte level and kits for implementing those methods. A blood sample is drawn, and components that might interfere with the assay are removed and/or neutralized. Granulocytes present in the sample are then disrupted to release intracellular myeloperoxidase, and the sample is contacted with a peroxide and a chromogenic donor dye. The myeloperoxidase enzyme catalyzes hydrogen peroxide-involved reactions which result in the dye changing color if, and to the extent that, granulocytes are present in the blood sample.
