Ritika Agarwal, Shivendra Choudhary, Sakshi Kumari.

Background: The present study was conducted to assess β globulin level in patients with OSMF. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 68 patients of OSMF of both genders. Equal number of control was also recruited. 5 ml venous blood was drawn and serum was separated out. The samples were frozen at 20°C until assay. The serum β2-m level was analyzed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay using commercially available kit Results: Group I had OSMF and group II had control subjects. In group I, males were 48 and females were 20. In group II, males were 36 and females were 32. The mean β2-m level in group I was 1.04 mg/l and in control was 1.52 mg/l. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that β2-m level was decreased in OSMF patients. Key words: β globulin, OSMF, Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay
