Biologic activity of digoxin-specific antisera.

چکیده
Digoxin-specific antibodies are capable of removing essentially all intracellular digoxin from rat renal cortical slices or from human erythrocytes. In removing digoxin from erythrocytes, these antibodies are capable of reversing an effect of the drug on cellular potassium transport. This study provides direct evidence that antibodies are capable of removing, and thereby reversing the biological effect of, physiologically active low molecular weight substances after they have been taken up by mammalian cells. This biologic property of digoxin-specific antibodies suggests that autidigoxin sera may prove useful in the reversal of digoxin toxicity. Rapid and essentially quantitative removal of digoxin from red cells by antibody is not accompanied by an immediate restoration of patassium influx to normal levels. Identification of the mechanism of this phenomenon may provide useful information concerning the mode of action not only of digoxin, but also of the cation transport system of human erythrocytes.

Endogenous digoxin-like immunoreactive factors eliminated from serum samples by hydrophobic silica-gel extraction and enzyme immunoassay.
Elimination of endogenous digoxin-like immunoreactive factors (DLIF) that interfere with accurate measurement of digoxin requires use of a highly specific anti-digoxin antibody, or that DLIF be separated from digoxin before immunoassay. Several commercial digoxin-assay kits include a step for separating serum proteins and other substances from digoxin before immunoassay. We tested six different...
متن کاملThe isolation of digoxin-specific antibody and its use in reversing the effects of digoxin.
Specific antibodies to digoxin were isolated from antisera of sheep immunized with a digoxin-human serum albumin conjugate. The antibody was purified by adsorption to an immunoadsorbent, synthesized by coupling a ouabain-ribonuclease conjugate to bromoacetyl-cellulose, followed by elution with 25 mM ouabain. Ouabain was dissociated from antibody by denaturation in 6 M guanidine. The renatured a...

the treatment of congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. It is important to measure digoxin in serum from digitalized patients because the therapeutic range of serum digoxin concentration is narrow. Immunoassays are routinely used for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of digoxin. The antibody with cross-reactivity to metabolites of digoxin (digoxigenin bis and monodigitoxosides, digox...
