Radioimmunoassay of relaxin in pregnancy with an analogue of human relaxin

Journal Article · · Lancet; (United States)
A radioimmunoassay for relaxin was developed in which a synthetic analogue of human relaxin was used as standard, tracer, and immunogen. Relaxin could not be measured in sera from men or non-pregnant women, but was measurable in pregnant women from the tenth week of gestation until term. Concentrations ranged from 0.19-1.18 ng/ml, with highest levels measured in the first trimester.
