Two-site immunoradiometric assay (IRMA): detection, efficiency, and procedural modifications.
A 2-site immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) has been done using Anopheles stephensi fed on Plasmodium vivax blood through parafilm to ascertain at what time in the sporogonic cycle circumsporozoite (CS) antigen can be detected, and to detect CS antigen in mosquitoes squashed on filter paper (FP) and cellulose acetate membrane (CAM). The CS antigen was detectable only in mature oocysts, a day prior ...
متن کاملThyrotropin as measured by a sensitive immunoradiometric assay.
An immunoradiometric assay (Boots-Celltech's "Sucrosep"; IRMA) for thyrotropin (TSH) was evaluated and results were compared with those of our in-house RIA procedure. The IRMA had a sensitivity of 0.02 milli-int. unit/L. In addition it displayed excellent intra- and inter-batch precision, cross-reacted negligibly with other pituitary hormones, and appeared to be relatively free of matrix effect...
متن کاملMonitoring treatment of congenital hypothyroidism by highly sensitive immunoradiometric assay for thyroid stimulating hormone.
To assess the clinical value of a sensitive immunoradiometric assay for TSH (IRMA-TSH), serum IRMA-TSH levels were compared with those of a radioimmunoassay (RIA-TSH) in twenty-eight patients with congenital hypothyroidism. Among 144 samples taken from them, 44 samples showed undetectable RIA-TSH, while only 10 samples were undetectable by IRMA-TSH. In two patients prospectively followed, RIA-T...
متن کاملHypersensitivity reaction with intravenous GnRH after pulsatile subcutaneous GnRH treatment in male hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism.
Chronic pulsatile subcutaneous administration of low doses of gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) is an effective therapy for men with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism. Hypersensitivity reactions to GnRH are rare. We wish to report hypersensitivity reactions with intravenous GnRH after low dose subcutaneous pulsatile GnRH treatment in two men with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism due to suprasel...
متن کاملDevelopment and utility of a monoclonal-antibody-based, highly sensitive immunoradiometric assay of thyrotropin.
Using improved selection techniques, we isolated four monoclonal antibodies with high affinity for human thyrotropin (Ka = 1.6 X 10(8) to 2.6 X 10(10) L/mol). We used two of these in an immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) that also incorporates a novel phase-separation technology (Sucrosep TSH IRMA, Boots-Celltech). This assay's very low detection limit for TSH (0.03-0.08 milli-int. unit/L) and wide...
