Enzyme immunoassay of estrogen-like substances in plasma, with polyethylene glycol as precipitant.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We devised an enzyme immunoassay for plasma estrogen-like substances in pregnancy, using estriol covalently linked to horseradish peroxidase. Free and bound steroid were separated by use of polyethylene glycol reagent. The assay satisfies the normal criteria of specificity and precision. Results obtained by radioimmunoassay and enzyme immunoassay agreed well. Our assay is particularly applicable in smaller clinical laboratories to routine determination of plasma estriol in pregnancy.

Nonchromatographic radioimmunoassay of unconjugated estriol in plasma, with polyethylene glycol as precipitant.
We describe a rapid, reliable radioimmunoassay for unconjugated estriol in plasma. Polyethylene glycol (Carbowax 6000) is used to separate antibody-bound and free steroid. The assay is sensitive (25 pg for standards), precise, and accurate. At high and low concentrations of estriol, intra-assay coefficients of variation were 7.1% and 7.6%, respectively, and inter-assay coefficients of variation...
متن کاملHuman plasma derived drugs separation by fractionation of plasma with polyethylene glycol
Background: There are varieties of purification techniques for separation of human plasma proteins such as salting out, ion exchange chromatography, and ethanol fractionation. There are limitations for each method, for example in salting out method, the salt has to be removed in an additional step. Ion exchange chromatography is difficult for scaling up, and plasma fractionation is a time consu...
متن کاملA faster radioimmunoassay of progesterone in plasma, with use of polyethylene glycol as precipitant.
We report a reliable radioimmunoassay for plasma progesterone in which polyethylene glycol ("Carbowax 6000") is used to separate antibody-bound and free hormone. Initially, progesterone is concentrated by putting the sample through a column of LH-20 Sephadex. Procedural losses in each sample are not monitored. We compared the reliability and practicality of this method with that of another meth...
متن کاملA new enzyme immunoassay for prolactin in serum or plasma.
This enzyme immunoassay (EIA) of human prolactin (hPRL) involves incubation of sample and anti-hPRL antibodies conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) in tubes coated with a second antibody to hPRL. The test can be performed within 60 min. No reaction of the antibodies with human placental lactogen and human somatotropin is detectable. The presence of detergent allows assay of both s...
متن کاملCross-Linked Enzyme Aggregates of Naringinase: Novel Biocatalysts for Naringin Hydrolysis
Cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) have emerged as interesting biocatalyst design for immobilization. These new generation enzyme biocatalysts, CLEAs, in addition to exhibiting good mechanical stability, can be highly active, since they do not include large amounts of foreign particulate nonenzymatic material and may have increased stability. Naringinase (NGase) is an enzyme complex with hi...
