Preparation and Characterization of 125I Labeled Bovine Serum Albumin
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bovine serum albumin is a model protein, which has been conventionally used as protein standard and in many areas of biochemistry, pharmacology and medicine. Radioiodination procedure for bovine serum albumin employing chloramine-T as an oxidant with slight modification was evaluated critically to establish the optimal conditions for the preparation of radiolabeled tracer ((125)I-BSA) with required specific activity without impairing the immune reactivity and biological activity. Optimized radioiodination procedure involving 10 µg of chloramine-T along with 20 µg of sodium metabisulphite with 60 seconds incubation at 2° yielded (125)I-BSA with high integrity.

Quantitative studies of pinocytosis. II. Kinetics of protein uptake and digestion by rat yolk sac cultured in vitro
Pinocytic uptake of 125I-labeled bovine serum albumin by 17.5-day rat visceral yolk sac cultured in vitro has been examined. Uptake was followed by intracellular digestion and, after an initial period, the content of radioactivity in the tissue itself remained constant during the incubation. Radiolabel was returned to the culture medium predominantly as (125I)iodotyrosine; exocytosis of undiges...
متن کامل3H and 125I radioimmunoassays of haloperidol compared with fluoroimmunoassay involving antibody coupled to magnetizable solid phase.
Radioimmunoassays for haloperidol are described, involving use of tritium- or 125I-labeled drug or tritium-labeled spiroperidol, and a rabbit antiserum to a drug/bovine serum albumin conjugate. The 125I-labeled drug was prepared by the Chloramine T iodination technique. A fluoroimmunoassay for haloperidol is also described in which the antiserum is coupled to magnetizable solid-phase medium, an...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a mannose-specific endocytosis receptor from human placenta.
A receptor which recognizes glycoproteins bearing terminal mannose residues has been isolated from human placental membranes. Washed membranes were solubilized with buffer containing 1% Triton X-100 and applied to a mannose-Sepharose affinity column. The column was eluted with buffer containing 200 mM mannose and 1% cholate. The major protein eluted exhibited a molecular weight of 175 kDa on so...
متن کاملThe Effect of Different Stabilizers on Stability of Horseradish Peroxidase- Bovine Serum Albumin-Aflatoxin B1, a Conjugated Tracer for Detection of Aflatoxin B1 in Immunoassay-Based Methods
Aflatoxins are a group of fungal toxic metabolites, which are contaminated certain food commodities. ELISA is one of the sensitive methods for detection of aflatoxins. Preparation and stabilizing of a proper conjugated tracer for detection of aflatoxins is probably the main step for designing an ELISA method. In current study, different stabilizers were applied to stabilize a newly prepared con...

UNLABELLED We investigated the distribution, stability and radiotoxicity of 125I-oligodeoxyribonucleotides (125I-ODN) in human fibrosarcoma HT-1080 cells to study the radiotoxic effects of the Auger electron emitter 125I delivered to the cells by ODN. METHODS We delivered 125I-ODN into the cells via complexing with a liposomal delivery system. To assess the intracellular distribution and stab...
