Determination of cyclooxygenase products and prostaglandin metabolites using high-pressure liquid chromatography and radioimmunoassay. [Tritium tracer technique]

Journal Article · · Anal. Biochem.; (United States)
A method is described for measurement for the cyclooxygenase products, thromboxane, prostacyclin, and prostaglandins (PG), and several prostaglandin metabolites. The procedure involves separation of the compounds by high-pressure liquid chromatography combined with identification and estimation by serologic analysis. These combined procedures have been used to identify and estimate five such products, PGE/sub 2/, PGE/sub 1/, PGF/sub 2..cap alpha../, PGF/sub 1..cap alpha../, and 6-keto-PGF/sub 1..cap alpha../ in the culture fluids of dog kidney cells stimulated by a tumor-promoting phorbol diester. The prostaglandin metabolites, 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGE/sub 2/, 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF/sub 2..cap alpha../, 13,14-dihydro-PGE/sub 2/, and 13,14-dihydro-PGF/sub 2..cap alpha../, were not found in these culture fluids.
