Rapid radioimmunoassay of total urinary estriol.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a radioimmunoassay for total urinary estriol in pregnancy. A 25-mul aliquot of the urine specimen is acid hydrolyzed, neutralized, and diluted before assay. We use rabbit antisera against estriol-6-(O-carboxymethyl)oxime/bovine serum albumin and ammonium sulfate precipitation at room temperature. Results are unaffected by glucose or methenamine mandelate, a urinary tract antiseptic. Using semi-automatic pipetting equipment, one laboratory technologist can complete 50 assays within 8 h. This technique is both reliable and convenient and should decrease the expense of routine estriol assays.

Radioimmunoassay of total urinary estrogens.
We describe a radioimmunoassay for total estrogens in urine. Estrogens are extracted by adsorption on XAD-2 resin, eluted with methanol, and acid-hydrolyzed. Estrogens are then determined in a diluted aliquot of the hydrolysate. Within-run coefficients of variation for estriol values between 6.0 and 100 micrograms/L were less than 5%; between-run CV was 19.6% at an estriol concentration of 16.8...
متن کاملTotal urinary estriol determined by "on-line" liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection.
We report a fully automated method for the specific assessment of total estriol in urine. Acid-hydrolyzed urine is concentrated on a short reversed-phase column and prepurified with methanolic Tris buffer, the pH of the buffer increasing from 7 to 11. The anionic form of the estriol molecule is eluted with methanolic NaOH. By acidification in a mixing chamber, estriol in its neutral form is foc...
متن کاملDirect radioimmunoassay for serum estriol during pregnancy.
I describe an assay for serum estriol during pregnancy, which does not require prior extraction or chromatography of the serum. Fifty microliters of 20-fold diluted serum can be assayed to detect as little as 20 pg of estriol. For a 20 mug/liter serum estriol concentration the CV was 16%; for 100 mug/liter concentration it was 5%. There was no significant interference by serum "binding" protein...
متن کاملNonchromatographic radioimmunoassay of unconjugated estriol in plasma, with polyethylene glycol as precipitant.
We describe a rapid, reliable radioimmunoassay for unconjugated estriol in plasma. Polyethylene glycol (Carbowax 6000) is used to separate antibody-bound and free steroid. The assay is sensitive (25 pg for standards), precise, and accurate. At high and low concentrations of estriol, intra-assay coefficients of variation were 7.1% and 7.6%, respectively, and inter-assay coefficients of variation...
متن کاملTotal estriol in serum and plasma as determined by radioimmunoassay.
We present and discuss the results of a statistical study of a set of radioimmunoassay data obtained from parallel determinations of the total estriol content of samples of serum and plasma prepared from 98 specimens of whole blood, taken from pregnant woman. Estriol concentrations in the serum exceed by an average of 7% the values found for the plasma prepared from the same whole-blood specime...
