Radio-immunoassay of gastrin in human plasma

An 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...

Enzyme 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...

Immunoassay 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...

Enzyme Immunoassay for the Quantitative Determination of TESTOSTERONE in Human Serum or plasma INTRODUCTION OF CHEMILUMINESCENCE IMMUNOASSAY

Adrenocorticotropin-like and alpha-melanotropin-like peptides in a subpopulation of human gastrin cell granules: bioassay, immunoassay, and immunocytochemical evidence.

Adrenocorticotropin (ACTH)-like and alpha-melanotropin (alpha-MSH)-like peptides have been localized to a subpopulation of cytoplasmic (secretory) granules of human antropyloric gastric cells and of fetal and neoplastic gastrin cells. These granules also store gastrin and belong to the electron-dense variety of gastrin cell granules. Gastrin cells also contain granules of low to medium electron...
