Improved sensitivity of iodinated histamine: prostaglandin radioimmunoassay by prostaglandin methyl esters
Use of (/sup 125/I)-labeled histamine-prostaglandin tracer increases the sensitivity of the radioimmunoassays of prostaglandin derivatives. Six different antisera were produced for prostaglandins and their derivatives (prostaglandins E/sub 1/, E/sub 2/, F/sub 1..cap alpha../, F/sub 2..cap alpha../, 13,14-dihydro-15-ketoprostaglandin E/sub 2/, and 13,14-dihydro-15-ketoprostaglandin F/sub 2..cap alpha../) and were investigated with the corresponding tritiated and iodinated tracers. Displacement of iodinated tracers by the methyl esters of the prostaglandin compounds resulted, in most cases, in a three- to fivefold increase in sensitivity compared to unesterified inhibitors. Esterification also caused some alteration in the specificities observed. Our results suggest that conformational changes in the esterified prostaglandins (tracer and inhibitor) could explain these charges.
