Abstract |
The radioimmunoassay of human thyrtropin was performed
in various thyroid diseases, using the antin-h-TSH
antibody(Daiichi, Japan) and purified h-TSH(Biodata,
Italy), 125I labelling of h-TSH was performed using a
small amount(l.8 μg) of chloramin-T as an oxidant at
room temperature. This new method facilitated uniform
labelling and reduced to damage of h-TSH by chloramin-
T, and satisfactory radioimmunoasasy results were
obtained with 125I-TSH prepared by the new method until
at least 7 weeks after preparation. The assay
sensitivity was 1.0 μu/ml. The coefficient of
variances in within assay and interrun assay were all
less than 10% among the range of 1.25 μu/ml and 160
μu/ml. The serum TSH values by this new method were
colsely related to those by commercial kit(r=0.996). |
