چکیده

We describe a "sandwich-type" enzyme immunoassay for insulin in serum, in which antibody Fab'-beta-D-galactosidase conjugate and an antibody-immobilized silicone rubber solid-phase are used. The interference by serum factors with the solid-phase enzyme immunoassay can now be removed by using a buffer containing gelatin. Serum samples of 50 microL can be analyzed by the enzyme immunoassay, which is as sensitive as radioimmunoassay for human insulin. Our results correlate well with those for radioimmunoassay (r = 0.97, slope = 0.92, y-intercept = 4.6 milli-int. units /L for 181 samples). Between-assay and within-assay coefficients of variation are less than 15% over the useful ranges of the assay (5--160 milli-int. units/L).

Quantification of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin by Bovine Serum Albumin Nanoparticles

Background and Aims: Some nanoparticles can be used in immunoassays to increase sensitivity. This study aimed to evaluate a novel nano-immunoassay based on bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA NPs). Materials and methods: At first, the nanostructure was synthesized, and then applied as a tag in the nano-immunoassay. Then the concentration of β-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin ...

Solid-phase enzyme immunoassay for serum ferritin.

We describe a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay for ferritin in human serum, with use of a horseradish peroxidase-labeled antibody and a highly sensitive chromogen, 2,2'-azino-di(3-ethyl-benzthiazoline-6-sulfonate). The assay requires only 10 microL of serum per assay, relatively less time and labor than other assys for ferritin, and as little as 10 pg of ferritin can be measured. We believe this ...

A new solid-phase immunoassay for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase: analysis of TdT antigen in cells, plasma, and serum.

A solid-phase immunoassay for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase has been developed using a primary antibody-coated polystyrene bead and secondary antibody conjugated with horseradish peroxidase. The immunoassay was compared with assays for enzyme activity and detection of antigen with immunofluorescence using cells from peripheral blood and bone marrow from patients with leukemia or lymphom...

Leptin in human reproduction: serum leptin levels in pregnant and lactating women.

Experiments in ob/ob female mice demonstrated that leptin injections not only reduced weight and fat mass, but also restored fertility and partial lactation. To explore factors regulating ob gene expression in reproductive women, we measured serum leptin, body fat, energy expenditure, and milk production in 65 women at 36 weeks of gestation, and at 3 and 6 months postpartum. Serum leptin was me...
