Measurement of myeloperoxidase (MPO; EC 1.11.1.7) activity is often used as a marker of neutrophil infiltration into tissues. However, most enzymatic assays for MPO are susceptible to interference from other peroxidases (including eosinophil peroxidase, EPX) and hemoproteins (such as hemoglobin and myoglobin) present in the tissues. In this report, we describe a bromide-dependent chemiluminescence (Br-CL) assay that uses luminol as a chemiluminescence probe. The assay can distinguish between MPO and nonspecific peroxidase reactions. The MPO-specific reaction is believed to proceed in two steps: (i) the enzymatic generation of hypobromous acid (HOBr) from KBr and H2O2 at pH 5 and (ii) the spontaneous reaction of HOBr and H2O2 with luminol to give a Br-CL signal. The assay is sufficiently sensitive to allow detection of MPO in
