A method is described for automated measurement of serum ceruloplasmin ferroxidase activity. In this method, Fe2+ ions are used as the substrate. In addition, a new calibration system without ceruloplasmin is also presented. Optimum assay reaction conditions were determined. Maximal catalytic activity was obtained at 0.45 mol/L acetate buffer, pH 5.8. The reagents and calibrator are stable for at least 6 months. Significant correlations between serum ferroxidase and p-phenylenediamine oxidase activities (r = 0.96; P <0.0001) and copper concentration (r = 0.93; P <0.0001) were found. The range for serum ceruloplasmin ferroxidase activity in healthy persons was 198-1107 U/L, and in patients with bronchial asthma it was 601-1912 U/L.
