Autoantibodies to gastrin in patients with pernicious anaemia--a novel antibody. (1/8213)

Autoantibodies arise when there is a breakdown in immunological tolerance. Autoantibodies to parietal cells and intrinsic factor are found in autoimmune atrophic gastritis (AAG) and are associated with elevated plasma gastrin. Endogenous gastrin autoantibodies have not been described to date. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of autoantibodies to gastrin. Plasma from 50,000 patients, including more than 2000 with AAG, was tested. Gastrin was measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) in whole plasma and the presence of autoantibody determined by using a control which omitted assay antibody. The quantity and affinity of gastrin autoantibodies was assessed. Three patients had autoantibodies to gastrin. All three had AAG and pernicious anaemia (PA). The antibodies were of low titre and relatively high affinity. Free circulating plasma gastrin levels were within the normal range, but total gastrin levels were elevated. This is the first description of autoantibodies to endogenous gastrin. The incidence of antibodies to gastrin is low, they are found in association with PA, and they may lead to falsely low measurements of plasma gastrin.  (+info)

Immunoglobulin-specific radioimmunoprecipitation assays for quantitation of nasal secretory antibodies to hemagglutinin of type A influenza viruses. (2/8213)

Radioimmunoprecipitation (RIP) assays were developed to selectively quantitate class-specific antibodies to purified hemagglutinins (HA) of type A influenza virus in nasal secretions. Rabbit anti-human secretory piece of immunoglobulin A (IgA) and rabbit anti-human IgG were used as second antibodies. A third antibody, goat anti-rabbit IgG, was incorporated into the system to separate immune complexes formed between iodinated HA, nasal wash test specimen, and second antibody. The utilization of this reagent avoided the need for large quantities of IgA and IgG antibody-negative carrier secretions. Nasal was specimens obtained from 14 adults immunized with an inactivated type A influenza virus vaccine were evaluated by RIP and viral neutralization assays. Significant homologous postvaccination secretory IgA and IgG antibody levels were demonstrable in 13 (93%) of individuals by RIP, whereas only 5 (36%) exhibited rises by viral neutralization tests. Moreover, the geometric mean IgA and IgG antibody levels were at least 20- and 37-fold greater than the neutralizing antibody titer. The pattern of heterologous immunoglobulin-specific antibody responses tended to be similar to those observed with the homologous HA subunit.  (+info)

Influences of Helicobacter pylori on serum pepsinogen concentrations in dialysis patients. (3/8213)

BACKGROUND: Patients with impaired renal function have been known to have elevated concentrations of serum pepsinogens, which are raised by Helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach. The present study was performed to examine the effect of H. pylori infection on serum pepsinogen concentrations in dialysis patients. METHODS: Forty nine patients on dialysis and 48 subjects with no known kidney disease were examined for upper gastroduodenal endoscopy, H. pylori infection and serum concentrations of pepsinogen I and II. The status of H. pylori infection was evaluated from results of a urease test, histology and culture of biopsy specimens of the gastric mucosa. Serum pepsinogen levels were measured by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: Serum concentrations of pepsinogen I and II were elevated in the dialysis patients in comparison with those in the controls (277.4+/-24.2 vs 52.6+/-4.0 pg/ml, P<0.01 for pepsinogen I, and 30.2+/-2.9 vs 14.9+/-1.3 pg/ml, P<0.01 for pepsinogen II). In both the dialysis patients and controls, those with H. pylori infection had significantly higher concentrations of serum pepsinogen I and II and a lower ratio of pepsinogen I to pepsinogen II than those without infection. Among the controls, 15 of 25 subjects with atrophic gastritis had a pepsinogen I/pepsinogen II ratio < or = 3.0, while only two out of 17 patients on dialysis fell into this range. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that H. pylori status should be taken into account when serum pepsinogen concentrations are evaluated in dialysis patients.  (+info)

Pregnancy detection and the effects of age, body weight, and previous reproductive performance on pregnancy status and weaning rates of farmed fallow deer (Dama dama). (4/8213)

Fallow does (n = 502) of different ages (mature, 2-yr-old, and yearling) were maintained with bucks for a 60-d breeding season to determine whether previous reproductive performance and changes in BW affect doe pregnancy rates and to compare the effectiveness of ultrasonography and serum pregnancy-specific protein B (PSPB) for the detection of pregnancy in fallow does. Ultrasonography was performed, blood samples collected, and BW recorded at buck removal (d 0) and at 30 and 90 d after buck removal. Lactational status (lactating = WET; nonlactating = DRY) were determined from farm records taken at weaning prior to each breeding season (autumn 1990 through autumn 1994). Ultrasonography and PSPB for determining pregnancy were in agreement 93% of the time. Overall pregnancy rates did not differ (P>.10) relative to age of the doe; the combined pregnancy rate was 92%. We also determined that 82.9% of does conceived early in the breeding season and that the incidence of embryonal-fetal mortality during the first 90 d after buck removal was 2.8%. In general, mature and 2-yr-old DRY does were heavier and had lower pregnancy rates than WET does. The overall weaning rate for all does was 77.9%. Loss in the number of fawns from pregnancy detection to weaning was equivalent to 14.8% for mature does, 24.7% for 2 yr old does, and 42.5% for yearling does. These data indicate that even though pregnancy rates were relatively high, further study is needed to determine the causes associated with subsequent fawn losses, particularly among yearling does. As a production tool, lactational WET/ DRY status testing was found to be an acceptable means for determining the reproductive potential of individual does within the herd. In addition, serum PSPB may be used in place of ultrasonography for pregnancy diagnosis in fallow deer as early as d 30 after buck removal.  (+info)

EGF precursor mRNA and membrane-associated EGF precursor protein in rat exorbital lacrimal gland. (5/8213)

This study was designed to demonstrate the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in the rat exorbital lacrimal gland. EGF precursor gene transcription was demonstrated first by RT-PCR analysis of lacrimal gland RNA using a set of specific primers and second by Northern blot analysis of rat lacrimal gland mRNA. A rabbit polyclonal antibody (rEGF2) directed against rat submaxillary gland EGF was used to detect EGF-containing proteins by RIA. Results indicate that the rat lacrimal gland does not contain detectable soluble and mature EGF but that the EGF immunoreactivity is associated with the membrane-enriched fraction. Analysis of the detergent-solubilized membrane proteins by gel filtration shows that membrane-associated EGF immunoreactivity was present as a high-molecular-mass protein. Moreover, as shown by Western blot analysis, a specific anti-rat EGF precursor antibody (ppEGF1) can immunoprecipitate a 152-kDa EGF-containing protein. Taken together, these results demonstrate for the first time both EGF precursor gene transcription and EGF precursor protein expression in a lacrimal tissue, i.e., the rat exorbital lacrimal gland. The demonstration that EGF appears to be stored only as its full-length membrane precursor may provide important information to study the regulation of its secretory process.  (+info)

Effects of urodilatin (5, 10, 20, and 40 ng. kg-1. min-1) infused over 2 h on separate study days were studied in eight normal subjects with use of a randomized, double-blind protocol. All doses decreased renal plasma flow (hippurate clearance, 13-37%) and increased fractional Li+ clearance (7-22%) and urinary Na+ excretion (by 30, 76, 136, and 99% at 5, 10, 20, and 40 ng. kg-1. min-1, respectively). Glomerular filtration rate did not increase significantly with any dose. The two lowest doses decreased cardiac output (7 and 16%) and stroke volume (10 and 20%) without changing mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate. The two highest doses elicited larger decreases in stroke volume (17 and 21%) but also decreased blood pressure (6 and 14%) and increased heart rate (15 and 38%), such that cardiac output remained unchanged. Hematocrit and plasma protein concentration increased with the three highest doses. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system was inhibited by the three lowest doses but activated by the hypotensive dose of 40 ng. kg-1. min-1. Plasma vasopressin increased by factors of up to 5 during infusion of the three highest doses. Atrial natriuretic peptide immunoreactivity (including urodilatin) and plasma cGMP increased dose dependently. The urinary excretion rate of albumin was elevated up to 15-fold (37 +/- 17 micrograms/min). Use of a newly developed assay revealed that baseline urinary urodilatin excretion rate was low (<10 pg/min) and that fractional excretion of urodilatin remained below 0.1%. The results indicate that even moderately natriuretic doses of urodilatin exert protracted effects on systemic hemodynamic, endocrine, and renal functions, including decreases in cardiac output and renal blood flow, without changes in arterial pressure or glomerular filtration rate, and that filtered urodilatin is almost completely removed by the renal tubules.  (+info)

cGMP-dependent and -independent inhibition of a K+ conductance by natriuretic peptides: molecular and functional studies in human proximal tubule cells. (7/8213)

In immortalized human kidney epithelial (IHKE-1) cells derived from proximal tubules, two natriuretic peptide receptors (NPR) were identified. In addition to NPR-A, which is bound by atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and urodilatin (URO), a novel form of NPR-B that might be bound by C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) was identified using PCR. This novel splice variant of NPR-B (NPR-Bi) was also found in human kidney. Whereas ANP, BNP, and URO increased intracellular cGMP levels in IHKE-1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, CNP had no effect on cGMP levels. To determine the physiologic responses to these agonists in IHKE-1 cells, the membrane voltage (Vm) was monitored using the slow whole-cell patch-clamp technique. ANP (10 nM), BNP (10 nM), and URO (16 nM) depolarized these cells by 3 to 4 mV (n = 47, 7, and 16, respectively), an effect that could be mimicked by 0.1 mM 8-Br-cGMP (n = 15). The effects of ANP and 8-Br-cGMP were not additive (n = 4). CNP (10 nM) also depolarized these cells, by 3+/-1 mV (n = 28), despite the absence of an increase in cellular cGMP levels, indicating a cGMP-independent mechanism. In the presence of CNP, 8-Br-cGMP further depolarized Vm significantly, by 1.6+/-0.3 mV (n = 5). The depolarizations by ANP were completely abolished in the presence of Ba2+ (1 mM, n = 4) and thus can be related to inhibition of a K+ conductance in the luminal membrane of IHKE-1 cells. The depolarizations attributable to CNP were completely blocked when genistein (10 microM, n = 6), an inhibitor of tyrosine kinases, was present. These findings indicate that natriuretic peptides regulate electrogenic transport processes via cGMP-dependent and -independent pathways that influence the Vm of IHKE-1 cells.  (+info)

Mediation of humoral catecholamine secretion by the renin-angiotensin system in hypotensive rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). (8/8213)

The individual contributions of, and potential interactions between, the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and the humoral adrenergic stress response to blood pressure regulation were examined in rainbow trout. Intravenous injection of the smooth muscle relaxant, papaverine (10 mg/kg), elicited a transient decrease in dorsal aortic blood pressure (PDA) and systemic vascular resistance (RS), and significant increases in plasma angiotensin II (Ang II) and catecholamine concentrations. Blockade of alpha-adrenoceptors before papaverine treatment prevented PDA and RS recovery, had no effect on the increase in plasma catecholamines, and resulted in greater plasma Ang II concentrations. Administration of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, lisinopril (10(-4) mol/kg), before papaverine treatment attenuated the increases in the plasma concentrations of Ang II, adrenaline, and noradrenaline by 90, 79, and 40%, respectively and also prevented PDA and RS recovery. By itself, lisinopril treatment caused a gradual and sustained decrease in PDA and RS, and reductions in basal plasma Ang II and adrenaline concentrations. Bolus injection of a catecholamine cocktail (4 nmol/kg noradrenaline plus 40 nmol/kg adrenaline) in the lisinopril+papaverine-treated trout, to supplement their circulating catecholamine concentrations and mimic those observed in fish treated only with papaverine, resulted in a temporary recovery in PDA and RS. These results indicate that the RAS and the acute humoral adrenergic response are both recruited during an acute hypotensive stress, and have important roles in the compensatory response to hypotension in rainbow trout. However, whereas the contribution of the RAS to PDA recovery is largely indirect and relies on an Ang II-mediated secretion of catecholamines, the contribution from the adrenergic system is direct and relies at least in part on plasma catecholamines.  (+info)

Adenosine was coupled to human serum albumin by two different procedures that preserved the purine and ribose rings. The conjugates were evaluated for antigenicity in rabbits and guinea pigs. A conjugate containing 2′(3′)-O-succinoyladenosine failed to elicit antibodies, whereas one containing laevulinic acid (O2′, 3′-adenosine-acetal) elicited antibodies in all animals injected. The affinity and specificity of binding of adenosine to three selected antisera were evaluated. Dissociation constants of 31-187 nM were observed. Displacement of adenosine binding to all antisera by adenine 5′-nucleotides, adenine, inosine and hypoxanthine required more than 1000-fold higher concentrations than of adenosine itself. Similar affinities for adenosine and 2′-deoxyadenosine were observed. By exploiting the high specificity of the antisera, a radioimmunoassay method was established that was capable of detecting down to 1 pmol of adenosine (20 nM) in unfractionated heart perfusates and cell ...

Current immunoassays for interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) are effective for analyzing fluids derived from cultured cells. However, IL-1 beta determinations in human plasma or serum samples are technically complicated by higher protein and lipid concentrations, physicochemical differences which exist between samples from healthy subjects and those experiencing acute phase responses, and by the fact that IL-1 beta can be produced and degraded in the blood collection tube after the sample is drawn. A simple chloroform extraction process has been developed which eliminates several of the interfering factors from plasma samples and increases the amount of IL-1 beta detected by radioimmunoassay and lymphocyte activation assay. In the radioimmunoassay, rabbit sera was found to influence the accuracy and variability of plasma measurements. Improvements in radioimmunoassay reagents and methods are reported which reduce this influence. Finally, different concentrations of IL-1 beta were measured depending on

Background: PYY is a gut hormone that physiologically inhibits appetite. Currently only radioimmunoassay (RIA) techniques are available for its estimation. The aim of the study was to evaluate our in-house assay for precision, detection limit, interference of haemolysis, suitability of serum versus plasma and biological variation within one subject.. Method: All samples were obtained from one subject on two occasions following an over night fast and the consumption of 1000 and 3000 kcal meals on the respective days. Plasma was aliquoted in multiple samples. Coefficient of variation (CV) was measured at three concentrations (13.4, 16.4, 31.7pmol/L). The influence of haemolysis was evaluated by diluting severely haemolysed blood with non haemolysed blood obtained at the same venepuncture. All plasma samples were obtained in lithium heparin and trasylol tubes. Serum samples were obtained in a tube with trasylol and a clot activator. Carry over and the detection limit of the assay were also ...

Polyspecific antiserum against total rat serum proteins was used to develop specific and sensitive radioimmunoassays for fetuin and bikunin, two minor protein components of rat plasma. The radioimmunoassays proved to be highly useful to trace bikunin and fetuin in the course of developing isolation procedures, since neither specific functional assays nor monospecific antisera were available. The two examples demonstrate that, in general, it will be possible to develop a specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay with antiserum raised against a crude antigen preparation, such as a body fluid or a tissue extract, provided that a minute amount of pure antigen is available for preparing the radioiodinated antigen. ...

AU - Cominelli, F.. AU - Cannon, Joseph Gerard. AU - Shaw, A. R.. AU - Dinarello, C. A.. PY - 1991/12/1. Y1 - 1991/12/1. N2 - Interleukin 1 (IL-1) is a primary mediator of a wide variety of immunologic and inflammatory responses, including reactions to microbial infections. To study this cytokine in an animal model, we have developed specific and sensitive radioimmunoassays for the quantitation of rabbit IL- 1α and IL-1β. The sensitivity (limit of detection at 95% confidence level) of our assay for IL-1α and 1β was 20-40 and 40-80 pg/ml, respectively. Recovery of IL-1 from tissues ranged from 75 to 107%, with a mean of 95% for IL-1α and 89% (range 19-98) for IL-1β. We employed these assays in in vivo and in vitro studies. In an in vivo model, we measured the amount of rabbit IL-1α and 1β protein present in ...
The involvement of central catecholaminergic neurons in tonic gonadotrophin release was investigated. Male rats were given a single cerebral intraventricular injection of 6-hydroxydopamine hydrochloride (6-OHDA; 170 μg free base) dissolved in 0·001 n-HCL. Plasma LH and FSH were measured by double antibody radioimmunoassay. In the 6-OHDA-treated animals, LH was significantly reduced (P,0·001 after 1 hr and remained consistently lower for 8 hr. After a transient elevation, the controls showed no significant change (P,0·01). No difference in LH concentrations was found between experimental groups sampled at 2 days or later (P,0·01). Levels of FSH were less consistently different. Administration of 6-OHDA dissolved in different vehicles, with varied pH and osmolarity, gave similar results which suggests that the quinone derivative of 6-OHDA is effective in producing the catecholaminergic impairment. These findings indicate that LH release in the male rat may be controlled (or at least ...
The pneumococci possess, in addition to type-specific capsular polysaccharides, a number of antigens common to the species. Antibodies to phosphocholine (PC), a major determinant of C-carbohydrate, have been shown to protect mice from experimental pneumococcal infection, but little is known of the role of anti-PC antibodies in humans or the extent to which anti-PC levels are affected by carriage or infection. We examined 115 sera from 30 infants, who were followed propsectively from birth through 4 years of age, for the presence of immunoglobulin M antibody to PC, using a solid-phase radioimmunoassay method. Infants were found to develop antibody to PC in response to pneumococcal carriage and infection, and nearly all infants developed some antibody. Antibody levels increased with age. By using a regression model including both age and nasopharyngeal carriage of pneumococci, anti-PC levels were found to be highest after exposure to two or three different types of pneumococci; levels were highest ...

Our final goal was to analyze the relationship between plasma ET-1, blood pressure, and left ventricular structure and function in central obese subjects (both normotensives and hypertensives). ET-levels have been assessed by the radioimmunoassay method in 20 lean normotensives and in 57 ...
Summary. Baboon CG from the urine and placenta (Days 33-45 of gestation) was purified by ammonium acetate/alcohol extraction followed by ionic exchange, gel filtration and affinity chromatography. The CG activity was monitored using a double-antibody radioimmunoassay utilizing anti-baboon CG and hCG both as the labelled ligand and standard. Biological activity was measured by the rat luteal cell radio-receptor assay. The purified preparation exhibited heterogeneity in terms of its behaviour during ionic exchange chromatography and isoelectric focussing. Like hCG, baboon CG was made up of two non-covalently linked subunits: the Stokes radii were 36·5, 29·0 and 22·0 × 10−10 m for native CG, the beta subunit and the alpha subunit. The material focussed between pH 4·2 and 5·5. Relative to the second international hCG standard the biological potency of the purified urinary baboon CG was 4058 i.u. whilst the immunological activity was 4364 i.u. It is concluded that baboon and human CG are ...

Two new monoclonal antibodies (Lym-1 and Lym-2), reactive with the cell surface of B-lymphocytes and derived tumors, have been produced using tumor cell nuclei preparations as immunogens. Specificity screens using live cell radioimmunoassay techniques with 52 well-characterized human lymphoma and leukemia cell lines showed that both Lym-1 and Lym-2 bound to cell lines of B-cell lineage but were unreactive with those of T-cell, myeloid, or erythroid derivation. The B-cell specificity of these reagents was confirmed on 36 lymphoma and 15 leukemia biopsy specimens by using immunoperoxidase or immunofluorescence techniques. Additionally, flow cytometric analysis of 22 lymphoma biopsies showed that the majority of B-cell tumors were Lym-1 and/or Lym-2 positive and that within a given biopsy, a high percentage of the malignant cell population was stained. In both the immunoperoxidase and flow cytometric studies, reactive T-cells or T-cell lymphomas were consistently negative with the exception of ...

According to recent investigations neopterin (a pyrazinopyrimidine derivative) is a biochemical marker that reflects the activity of the proinflammatory immunocellular system of the synovial tissue in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Interferon gamma, derived from antigen activated T lymphocytes, stimulates macrophages to synthesise and release neopterin into the culture supernatant in vitro. To extend this in vitro model to a clinical level a sensitive new radioimmunoassay technique was used to measure neopterin concentrations in the synovial fluid (SF) of 17 patients with active RA, nine with osteoarthritis, and six with acute gout, and in that of 12 controls undergoing meniscectomy. The SF neopterin concentrations were significantly higher in patients with RA than in the other groups of patients, particularly the controls. Multivariant analysis showed that SF neopterin concentrations correspond better with the systemic inflammatory activity of RA than with the local disease activity of the knee ...

Oestrus was synchronised with PGF2-alpha in four pluriparous West African Dwarf (WAD) goats and blood collected through jugular venupuncture. The length of the oestrous cycle and oestrus duration were observed in three successive cycles while peripheral plasma progesterone and oestradiol-17B levels were determined by the radioimmunoassay technique. The mean oestrous cycle lengths and oestrus duration were 19.4 ± 1.7 d and 33.3 ± 6.6 h, respectively. Progesterone levels were very low during the first four days of the cycle (day 1 = day of oestrous) with the lowest level of 0.3 ± 0.02 ng/ml being recorded on day 2 of the cycle. There was a steady rise in the levels during the cycle until day 15 when the highest level of 2.2 ± 0.05 ng/ml was recorded which was followed by a sharp decline on day 20 (P ,0.05). The profile of oestradiol-17B was erratic during the cycle. Mean maximum and minimum concentrations were recorded on day 1 (152.6 ± 31.6 ng/ml) and day 2 (58.8 ± 22.6 ng/ml), ...

Abstract: Heparinized blood samples were taken from male immature and mature camels of the Shaalah breed, housed at the University Animal farm, during the rutting and non-rutting period. Other blood samples were also collected from camels slaughtered at defined seasons (summer, autumn, winter and spring) and from the Buraydah slaughter-house. In addition, specimens from the testes were also taken to confirm the difference between the immature and the mature animals during the non-rutting and rutting seasons. The plasma obtained from the collected blood samples was used for estimation of the following hormones, Melatonin (MLT), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Leutinizing Hormone (LH), Testosterone and Prolactin (PRL) using the radioimmunoassay technique. Specimens of testes tissue were fixed in calcium formol, processed for histological examination using standard procedures and stained with H&E. The results clearly differentiated the samples as immature and mature during the non-rutting and ...

N2 - Background and Purpose: NG-substituted analogues of L-arginine are potent and selective inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase(s). The present study was designed to determine the effects of these analogues on the vascular smooth muscle of isolated canine basilar arteries. Methods: Basilar artery rings without endothelium were suspended for isometric tension recording in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate solution bubbled with 94% O2-6% CO2 (temperature=37°C, pH=7.4). A radioimmunoassay technique was used to determine the levels of guanosine 3,5-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic GMP). Results: NG-Monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) caused concentration-dependent contractions, whereas the D-enantiomer and NG-nitro-L-arginine did not. Contractions to L-NMMA were reduced in the presence of L-arginine but not in the presence of D-arginine. Superoxide ...

Figure 2: The Effects of Endogenous Thyroglobulin Antibody on the Measurement of Serum Thyroglobulin using Immunoenzymatic (Sandwich) Method. Thyroglobulin Immunoassays. Several immunoassays are commercially available to measure thyroglobulin including the competitive radioimmunoassay (RIA) and the one-step immunoenzymatic (sandwich) assay (IMA). The RIA method is older and more labor intensive compared to IMA. In the RIA method, thyroglobulin competes with 125I labeled human thyroglobulin for a rabbit antibody against human thyroglobulin. After six days of incubation, thyroglobulin - antibody complexes are precipitated with a second anti-rabbit antibody. This method can detect both free thyroglobulin and thyroglobulin bound to antibody. The radioactivity is inversely proportional to the thyroglobulin concentration (2). In contrast to RIA, the IMA can be performed within one hour. The thyroglobulin in the patients sample is mixed with a biotinylated reagent that contains four monoclonal ...

490 blood samples have been examined for the comparison of the various methods concerned with the detection of the Australia Antigen (Au). The following methods have been comparatively examined: immunodiffusion (ID) counterelectrophoresis (CEP), complement fixation (CF) passive hemoagglutination (HA) and solid phase radioimmunoassay RIA. On the basis of the results so far obtained the RIA appears the most sensitive and specific method, followed by the HA. In order to obtain reproducible results for diagnostic purposes we suggest to carry out routinely two different techniques together (possibly RIA and HA), while for screening purposes just one technique, choosed between the two most indicative ones, shall be employed.

An immobilized immunoadsorbent for use in immunoassay and radioimmunoassay procedures includes, in a preferred form, a mass of superficially porous refractory particles having a water insoluble polymer, such as dextran, bonded thereto. The polymer in turn has bonded to it, by covalent bonds, antibodies capable of binding a specific antigen thereto and stoichiometrically releasing the bound antigen by the use of a rinsing solution which does not adversely affect the binding of the antibody to the polymer. Preferably, each of the porous particles includes an impervious core which has joined thereto sufficient layers of microparticles to form an outer porous coating on the core. Methods of forming such an immunoadsorbent and for using the same and structure for supporting the same are also disclosed.
The in vivo release of cholecystokinin (CCK)-like material (CCKLM) was measured in the frontal cortex of freely moving rats using the microdialysis technique combined with a sensitive radioimmunoassay. Local perfusion of K+ (100 mM)-enriched artificial CSF resulted in a 10-fold increase in CCKLM outflow, as compared with that occurring under basal resting (K+ = 3.0 mM) conditions, and this effect could be completely prevented by removal of Ca2+ in the perfusing fluid. Chromatographic analyses demonstrated that CCK-8S contributed to 70% of CCKLM. Stressful stimuli such as a 2-min exposure to diethyl ether and a 30-min restraint produced a marked but transient increase in cortical CCKLM release. In addition, anxiety-like behavior induced by the systemic administration of yohimbine (5 mg/kg i.p.) was associated with a long-lasting enhancement in the peptide outflow. Pretreatment with the potent anxiolytic drug diazepam (5 mg/kg i.p., 5 min before each condition), which exerted no effect on its own,
Anti-warfarin antiserum was prepared in rabbits by immunization with a synthesized warfarin antigen, 4-azo-warfarin human serum albumin, which possesses two enantiomorphic haptenic sites of warfarin on the molecule. The antiserum recognized both R- and S-warfarin to the same degree, 50% cross reactivities of racemic warfarin, respectively. One of the warfarin metabolites, racemic warfarin alcohol, showed 1% cross reactivity, and R- or S-warfarin alcohol have half the reactivity of the racemic alcohol. Rabbit plasma warfarin levels were determined by radioimmunoassay using this antiserum and racemic [14C]warfarin and by fluorometric assay after isolation by thin layer chromatography. After a single administration of warfarin (2 mg kg-1 orally or 500 microgram kg-1 i.v.), the plasma levels determined by both assay methods showed a good correlation (r = 0.97, P less than 0.001, Y = 1.04-0.09). The results show that the radioimmunoassay can determine total plasma warfarin without interference of ...

A radioimmunoassay with specificity for the a1 allotype determinant of rabbit immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chains was used for the quantitation of VH in detergent extracts of lymph node cells from a1a1/b4b4 rabbits. B cell-derived Ig in the same extracts was estimated with a radioimmunoassay specific for L-chain. About 2 X 10(5) molecules/cell was found by both assays when assuming a molecular weight of 1.5 X 10(5) dalton. Extracts prepared from lymphocytes depleted of B cells (surface Ig+ cells) were also found to contain corresponding amounts of a1 and L-chain, with values varying from about 10(3) to 10(4) molecules/cellmthe estimates were not influenced by the presence of inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes. Supernatants, obtained after keeping the lymphocytes in culture for 16 h, were analyzed by the same methods. Again, matching amounts of a1 and L-chain were found in supernatants from nonfractionated as well as from B cell-depleted populations. The results obtained indicate that T cells do not ...

Introduction: Chromogranin A (CgA) is not very accurate for the diagnosis of gastric carcinoid type1 (GC1). Clinical interpretation of CgA results may be affected by the heterogeneity between CgA assays. The commercial CgA assay, DAKO (DAKO, Denmark A/S, Glostrup, Denmark) is an ELISA which recognizes a 23 kD C terminal fragment of CgA; the Imperial Supra-regional Assay Service radioimmunoassay (SAS Hammersmith Hospital, Imperial College, London) is a competitive radioimmunoassay raised against the whole pancreastatin molecule ...
Blood levels should be monitored 2 to 3 times during the first few weeks of therapy or if the route of administration is changed (Draxler & Canafax, 1988; Evans et al, 1986). After several months, stable patients can be monitored less frequently. After cyclosporine has reached steady state, trough concentrations yield the most useful information for therapeutic monitoring (Evans et al, 1986). The therapeutic range of cyclosporine levels vary according to the assay technique used. The polyclonal radioimmunoassay (RIA) method is less specific for cyclosporine than high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Metabolites of cyclosporine are also detected by polyclonal RIA. Polyclonal RIA may be faster and easier to use than HPLC. Monoclonal RIA is more specific for cyclosporine than monoclonal RIA; however, it has not been used clinically as commonly as the other two methods. Cyclosporine levels should be monitored in whole blood because cyclosporine is significantly bound to the cellular ...

The U937 cell line has been shown to generate tumour fibrosis factor α (TNF-α) in response to soluble stimuli such as PMA and LPS, but only after treatment with GM-CSF. We report here the generation of TNF-α from U937 cells following phagocytosis of opsonised zymozan particles without the need for pre-treatment with GM CSF. The release of TNF-α from U937 cells was demonstrated by a specific radioimmunoassay, L929 cell killing and neutrophil priming. The biological activities in the cell supernatant were inhibited by TNF-α affarserum. Phagocytosis was required for TNF-α production. Non-opsonised zymozan or latex particles which were not phagocytosed or pretreatment with cytochalasin B, which inhibited phagocytosis of opsonised zymozan particles, all failed to trigger TNF-α production. Phagocytosis failed to trigger detectable IL-1 generation, and production of IL-6 was insufficient to produce biological effects on neutrophils. The U937 supernatant thus provides a source of human TNF-α ...

Previously, heterozygous INS gene mutations had been detected in adult patients with so-called familial hyperinsulinemia or hyperproinsulinemia who presented with variable phenotypes (mild diabetes or even hypoglycemia) and high serum levels of radioimmunoassayable insulin or proinsulin-like material. More recently, INS mutations have been found to be associated with neonatal- and infancy-onset diabetes (1-3). We demonstrated that mutant insulins with proteotoxic effect cannot be secreted when expressed in HEK 293 cell line (1), and it is likely that SB8 and SSignal23 are also retained in the endoplasmic reticulum. Nevertheless, the patient bearing the mutation in the signal peptide shows a milder clinical course, and we cannot exclude that SSignal23 preproinsulin may be partially processed and secreted. Present knowledge indicates that insulin mutations with a proteotoxic effect cause apoptosis of the pancreatic β-cell (1), a process that in most patients takes several months after birth (1-3) ...

INTRODUÇÃO: A mortalidade das vítimas de queimaduras tem diminuído nos últimos anos e a lesão inalatória tornou-se a principal causa de morte. As consequências da inalação por fumaça resultam de uma resposta inflamatória que envolve vários mediadores. A proteína 1 relacionada a uteroglobulina (UGRP1) é uma secretoglobulina antinflamatória específica do pulmão que pode desempenhar um papel na inflamação pulmonar. OBJETIVO: Investigar se a expressão precoce da UGRP1 na inalação de fumaça está relacionada com a severidade da injúria inalatória. MÉTODOS: Nós estudamos 16 pacientes críticos vítimas de queimaduras. Todos os pacientes foram mecanicamente ventilados por Síndrome da Angústia Respiratória do Adulto (SARA) secundária a injúria por inalação de fumaça. Uma amostra de sangue foi coletada entre a admissão a UTI até 24h após a injúria inalatória. O grau da injúria por inalação foi avaliado em todos os pacientes. RESULTADOS: A média de idade dos ...

An antiserum raised against the synthetic tyrosinylated carboxy-terminal sequence of synenkephalin (Tyr-Glu-Glu-Ser-His-Leu-Leu-Ala) has been used to chromatographically characterize the human synenkephalin-like immunoreactivity extracted from 3 adrenal medullary phaeochromocytomas. Gel filtration chromatography identified in each tumor a single peak of 8 kDa which on subsequent ion-exchange chromatography had the elution characteristics of an acidic polypeptide. These results are compatible with the human synenkephalin sequence predicted from cDNA studies, and indicate that this is the authentic peptide.
