A practical radioimmunoassay of thyroglobulin.

چکیده
We describe a reliable and convenient double-antibody radioimmunoassay for human thyroglobulin that can be performed within two days. Analytical recoveries were quantitative and immunological equivalence between several sources of human thyroglobulin was demonstrated. Cross reactivity with either thyroxine or triiodothyronine was insignificant. The between-day coefficient of variation in the 5--100 mug/liter range was 10%. The range observed for 68 normal individuals was 2--61 microgram/liter.

Radioimmunoassay for serum thyroglobulin designed for early detection of metastases and recurrencies in the follow-up of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
A radioimmunoassay (RIA) for the measurement of thyroglobulin in human serum was developed and factors that influence sensitivity were investigated. In a comparison of 3 different labeling procedures (chloramine T, iodogen, lactoperoxidase) iodogen-prepared tracer proved to be slightly superior with respect to sensitivity and stability. The shelf life of the tracer was improved by a protein-enr...
متن کاملDifferences in radioimmunoassay results for thyroglobulin that affect management of patients with thyroid cancer.
We compared two commercial assays for measurement of serum thyroglobulin [Nuclear Medical Systems (NMS) and "CIS" (Damon Diagnostics)] with each other and with one developed at Stanford (J Clin Endocrinol Metab 49:557-564, 1979). The NMS assay is a competitive-binding RIA, the CIS and Stanford assays are two-site immunoradiometric assays. The kit standards varied in thyroglobulin concentration....
متن کاملRadioimmunoassay of human thyroglobulin with use of "thyroglobulin-free" plasma prepared by ultracentrifugation as diluent.
We describe the preparation and evaluation of a new diluent for use in preparing standard curves for the radioimmunoassay of human thyroglobulin (TG). This diluent, "TG-free human plasma, allows measurement of TG in lower concentrations than with previous assay systems because the components of the standards are more similar to those of the samples. TG-free plasma was prepared by a modification...
متن کاملElevated serum thyroglobulin. A marker of metastases in differentiated thyroid carcinomas.
The presence of human thyroglobulin (HTg) in serum of patients was identical by immunological criteria to the serum standard used in the radioimmunoassay. The serum thyroglobulin levels in untreated patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma ranged from 22.0 to 445.0 ng/ml with a mean of 144.3 +/- 46.5 ng/ml (SEM) (n = 10). The mean serum thyroglobulin measured postoperatively in seven of t...
متن کاملHow sensitive (second-generation) thyroglobulin measurement is changing paradigms for monitoring patients with differentiated thyroid cancer, in the absence or presence of thyroglobulin autoantibodies
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To discuss new insights regarding how sensitive (second-generation) thyroglobulin immunometric assays (TgIMAs), (functional sensitivities ≤0.10 μg/L) necessitate different approaches for postoperative thyroglobulin monitoring of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), depending on the presence of thyroglobulin autoantibodies (TgAbs). RECENT FINDINGS Reliable low-r...
