Title: Method for extraction of glycoprotein hormones from plasma for use in radioimmunoassays. Author: Louvet JP, Nisula BC, Ross GT. Journal: J Lab Clin Med; 1975 Nov; 86(5):883-6. PubMed ID: 1185044. Abstract: Concanavalin-A covalently linked to Sepharose was used to extract the glycoproteins from a volume of human plasma about 10 times that volume usually added to conventional radioimmunoassay systems. Using a chorionic gonadoptropin (hCG) radioimmunoassay, hCG inhibition curves generated in the presence of the extracts were nearly identical to those generated by the conventional method; therefore, the sensitivity of the radioimmunoassays for glycoprotein hormones.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
