Estimation of intrinsic factor and detection of intrinsic factor antibodies using non-radioactive cyanocobalamin and microbiological assay.
نویسنده
چکیده
A method employing non-radioactive vitamin B(12) and microbiological assay is described for estimating intrinsic factor in gastric juice and for detecting antibody to intrinsic factor in serum. Satisfactory agreement was obtained between the results by this method and by a modification of the method of Ardeman and Chanarin (1963). During the first hour after gastric stimulation 11 patients with pernicious anaemia secreted between 0 and 240 units of intrinsic factor compared with between 1,600 and 39,000 units in 21 patients with other conditions. The results in three out of four patients with gastric atrophy were higher than those in pernicious anaemia but lower than in other conditions.

Factors Affecting the Absorption of Vitamin B,,
1. The absorption of radioactive cobalamin was measured by a whole-body counting technique in control subjects and in patients with pernicious anaemia. 2. The absorption of cyanocobalamin by patients with pernicious anaemia was decreased by charcoal but not by bile or saliva. 3. The absorption of cyanocobalamin by control subjects was not affected by food but was significantly increased by pent...
متن کاملKinetics of the attachment of intrinsic factor-bound cobamides to ileal receptors.
To determine whether the molecular configuration of vitamin B(12) influences the attachment of intrinsic factor-vitamin B(12) complex to ileal microvillous membrane receptor sites, we have examined the kinetics of uptake of intrinsic factor-bound cyanocobalamin by brush borders and microvillous membranes isolated from guinea pig ileum, and have compared this uptake with that of intrinsic factor...

Recent evidence (Kolhouse et aL, N. EngI. J. Med. 299: 785-792, 1978) demonstrates that commercial cobalamin (Vitamin B12) radioassay kits contain nonspecific R-protein bindingagents thatcan give falsely normal results in patients who are actually cobalamin deficient. We tested three kits:with“purified” intrinsic factor as the binder, with intrinsic factor and the nonspecific R-protein sites bl...

High Purity Germanium detectors (HPGe) are subdivisions of semiconductor detectors which are widely used in nuclear technology from space industry to nuclear medicine, due to their high resolution, low dead time, unlimited size and compatibility with a variety of environments. The( absolute and intrinsic) efficiency of the HPGe detector, which depends on the geometry of the source-detector syst...
متن کاملComparison of serum vitamin B12 estimation by saturation analysis with intrinsic factor and with R-protein as binding agents.
It has been reported that serum vitamin B12 levels assayed by saturation analysis methods may give misleadingly high results, so much so that the diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency may be obscured. This defect was ascribed largely to assays using a vitamin B12 binder other than pure intrinsic factor. To test out this hypothesis two assays were set up, one using saliva (non-intrinsic factor R-b...
