Combined radioimmunoassay for triiodothyronine and thyroxine
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6582287
A method for the combined radioimmunoassay for the hormones triiodothyronine (T-3) and thyroxine (T-4) in serum or plasma, wherein the radiolabeled t-3 and t-4 reagents are t-3 and t-4 labeled with the same radioisotope. The hormones are extracted from the serum or plasma sample and separated from their binding proteins by adsorption to a crosslinked dextran gel at a highly alkaline ph. After washing away the dissociated proteins, a predetermined limiting amount of t-3 antibody is incubated with the gel and thereafter radiolabeled t-3 which has become extracted from the gel by antibody binding is washed away. Excess t-3 antibody and a predetermined limiting amount of t-4 antibody are then incubated with the gel and radiolabeled t-3 and t-4 which has become extracted from the gel by antibody binding are thereafter washed away. The respective relative amounts of radiolabeled t-3 and t-4 retained by the gel after the incubations with the respective limiting amounts of t-3 and t-4 antibody are compared with standard results to quantitate the hormones in the sample. The use of excess t-3 antibody in the t-4 antibody incubation is critical to the accuracy of the method, enabling the use of the same radioisotope for radiolabeling t-3 and t-4.
