Measurement of specific radioactivities in labelled hormones by self-displacement analysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A graphical method is described that allows the determination of specific radioactivities of radioactively labelled hormones. This method combines the self-displacement technique, plotting bound/free ratios versus mass of unlabelled hormone or total radioactivity of labelled preparation added to the receptor preparation, and the maximal binding capacity of the labelled hormone. The procedure presented herein provides a more realistic specific radioactivity for use in all binding experiments. Application of the method is demonstrated for 125I-labelled ovine prolactin, and data are presented for 125I-labelled human choriogonadotropin and [3H]testosterone.

The Labelling of Proteins to High Specific Radioactivities by Conjugation to a 1251 - Containing Acylating Agent APPLICATION TO THE RADIOIMMUNOASSAY
1. A new method is described for labelling proteins to high specific radioactivities with 1251. The protein is treated with a 25I-labelled acylating agent, iodinated 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, which reacts with free amino groups in the protein molecule to attach the 125I-labelled groups by amide bonds. 2. Three protein hormones have been labelled by this metho...
متن کاملCompartmentation of glucose 6-phosphate in hepatocytes.
Rat hepatocytes were incubated with 14C-labelled hexoses, and the specific radioactivities of glucose 6-phosphate, glucose 1-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate were determined. (1) When suspensions of freshly isolated hepatocytes were incubated with [14C]glucose, the specific radioactivities of glucose 1-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate were severalfold higher than that of glucose 6-phosphate...
متن کاملError Analysis, Design and Modeling of an Improved Heterodyne Nano-Displacement Interferometer
A new heterodyne nano-displacement with error reduction is presented. The main errors affecting the displacement accuracy of the nano-displacement measurement system including intermodulation distortion error, cross-talk error, cross-polarization error and phase detection error are calculated. In the designed system, a He-Ne laser having three-longitudinal-mode is considered as the stabiliz...

1. Nerve cell bodies were isolated in bulk from cerebral cortices of 15 day-old rabbits after intrathecal injections of [(3)H]plamitate, [(3)H]oleate or [(3)H]arachidonate and [(14)C]glycerol. 2. Nuclear, microsomal and two mitochondrial fractions were isolated from homogenates of the radioactively labelled nerve cell bodies by using differential and discontinuous-gradient centrifugation. 3. Af...

1. Either l-[4,5-(3)H]leucine or [Me-(3)H]choline, or both l-[U-(14)C]leucine and [Me-(3)H]-choline, were injected into the ninth dorsal root ganglion of the frog, and peripheral transport of labelled proteins and/or phospholipids, mostly phosphatidylcholine, was studied by analysis of consecutive segments of the sciatic nerve. 2. At 25 degrees C, approx. 5% of the (3)H-labelled protein was tra...
