The mean activity is shown for three determinations in one experiment for the mixture LB44/LB44-LUDSN11 (80/20) and in three independent experiments for the mixture LB45/LB45-LUDSN11 (80/20). Theoretical values of UROD activity were 561 U/mg for the mixture in experiment no. 1 and 811 U/gm for the mixture in experiment no. 2. Data are the mean ± SD.
