Radioimmunoassay of ursodeoxycholic acid in serum.

چکیده
A sensitivie and specific radioimmunoassay for the measurement of serum ursodeoxycholic acid has been developed. Ursodeoxycholic acid bound to bovine serum albumin was used as an antigen, and antiserum to this antigen was raised in the rabbit. [11, 12-3h2]Ursodeoxycholic acid was used as the radioactive tracer, and the radioimmunoassay was carried out by the method of Simmonds et al. (1973. Gastroenterology. 65: 705-711). The percentage of bound radioactivity decreased linearly with a logarithmic increase in unlabeled ursodeoxycholic acid from 10 to 200 pmol. The antiserum showed extremely high specificity for ursodeoxycholic acid (free and conjugated), and the values determined by radioimmunoassay indicated a close correlation with those found by gas-liquid chromatography. In normal Japanese subjects, a small amount of ursodeoxycholic acid in serum was detected, and the level was detected, and the level was 0.15 +/- 0.11 nmol/ml. This convenient radioimmunoassay will provide useful information about the metabolism of ursodeoxycholic acid in man.

Introduction: Early differentiation of biliary atresia from neonatal hepatitis is of utmost importance, since on time surgery of biliary atresia significantly improves the outcome. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy is an integral part of diagnosis work-up of these patients; however its specificity for diagnosis of biliary atresia is suboptimal. In this study we evaluated t...
متن کاملCharacterization of serum and urinary bile acids in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry: effect of ursodeoxycholic acid treatment.
We have studied the effect of ursodeoxycholic acid on the serum and urinary bile acids in seven patients with moderate to severe primary biliary cirrhosis. Bile acids were characterized by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and quantified by capillary gas-liquid chromatography. Serum bile acids were elevated 26-fold over control values, with 2.2 times more cholic acid than chenodeoxych...
