چکیده

A 2-site immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) has been done using Anopheles stephensi fed on Plasmodium vivax blood through parafilm to ascertain at what time in the sporogonic cycle circumsporozoite (CS) antigen can be detected, and to detect CS antigen in mosquitoes squashed on filter paper (FP) and cellulose acetate membrane (CAM). The CS antigen was detectable only in mature oocysts, a day prior to sporozoite liberation, and in salivary gland sporozoites. Dissected sporozoites adsorbed on FP/CAM also can be analyzed by IRMA for Plasmodium species identification.

Performance of an immunoradiometric assay of erythropoietin and results for specimens from anemic and polycythemic patients.

We evaluated a new commercially available two-site immunoradiometric assay (IRMA; BioMérieux 125I-EPO CoatRIA) for erythropoietin (EPO) in human serum. The precision (CV) was 4.1% intra-assay and 8% interassay for a serum pool with an EPO concentration of 17 int. units/L; the detection limit was 0.5 int. unit/L, one order of magnitude lower than by classical radioimmunoassay (RIA), although sta...

Highly sensitive two-site immunoradiometric assay of parathyrin, and its clinical utility in evaluating patients with hypercalcemia.

We have developed a highly sensitive, two-site immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) for human parathyrin (PTH) that is specific for the intact, secreted, biologically active 84-amino-acid peptide. This assay has several technical advantages: it does not detect even high concentrations of inactive carboxyl-terminal fragments, results are available within 24 h, and the detection limit for intact hormon...

Two-site immunoradiometric assay for detection of Plasmodium falciparum antigen in blood using monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies.

Three systems of immunoradiometric assays (IRMAs), a two-site monoclonal antibody sandwich IRMA (MAb-IRMA), two-site polyclonal antibody-monoclonal antibody sandwich IRMA (PAb-MAb-IRMA), and two-site polyclonal antibody sandwich IRMA (PAb-IRMA), were developed to detect low-grade infections with Plasmodium falciparum. The assays showed good correlation with parasitemia when tested against paras...

Specific immunoradiometric assay of insulin-like growth factor I with use of monoclonal antibodies.

We identified two monoclonal antibodies that bind spatially distinct epitopes on insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). Using these two antibodies, we developed a simultaneous, two-site immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) specific for IGF-I. This IRMA has no detectable cross reactivity with insulin, proinsulin, prolactin, or somatotropin, and less than 2% crossreactivity with IGF-II. The assay respon...

Two-site immunoradiometric assay of intact salmon calcitonin.

We developed a two-site immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) of salmon calcitonin (SCT) that detects intact SCT(1-32) and not peptide fragments of the hormone. This was accomplished by using monoclonal antibodies prepared against the peptide fragments SCT(1-11) and SCT(11-32). Two antibodies with specificity for each of the peptides were purified from their respective ascites and evaluated in a two-s...
