Development of enzyme immunoassay for endogenous ouabain-like compound in human plasma.
Widespread evidence supports the existence of an endogenous digitalis-like compound in mammals. We report here the development of a novel enzyme immunoassay for ouabain that, in conjunction with a detailed HPLC study, identifies a ouabain-like compound (OLC) in extracted human plasma. The assay is sensitive-minimum detection limit for OLC 37 pmol/L (11 pmol/L in plasma)-and has a working range ...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of a ouabain-like compound from human plasma.
The plasma membrane sodium-potassium pumps that regulate intracellular sodium in most animal cells have specific, high-affinity receptors for the digitalis glycosides and their aglycones. This has fostered speculation that there is an endogenous ligand. We have purified and structurally identified by mass spectroscopy an endogenous substance from human plasma that binds with high affinity to th...
متن کاملAn improved enzyme immunoassay for progesterone in human plasma.
We describe an enzyme immunoassay for progesterone in which we use a progesterone-11alpha-hemisuccinyl-horseradish peroxidase conjugate as the "label" and an antiserum raised in rabbits to a progesterone-11alpha-hemisuccinyl-bovine serum albumin conjugate. In this assay, antibody-bound and free steroid are separated by using a second antibody precipitation procedure. The assay has a lower limit...
متن کاملEnzyme immunoassay for intact human insulin in serum or plasma.
We describe an enzyme-linked two-site immunoassay for quantitation of intact insulin in human serum and plasma. The method uses two murine monoclonal antibodies that bind to two different epitopes on the insulin molecule. The immunoassay is specific. Human proinsulin is not bound by the antibodies, and the binding of partially processed proinsulin intermediates is believed to be of minor clinic...
متن کاملImmunoassay of endogenous plasma insulin in man.
For years investigators have sought an assay for insulin which would combine virtually absolute specificity with a high degree of sensitivity, sufficiently exquisite for measurement of the minute insulin concentrations usually present in the circulation. Methods in use recently depend on the ability of insulin to exert an effect on the metabolism of glucose in vivo or in excised muscle or adipo...
