    Abstract:
    An enzyme immunoassay was developed for a convenient and sensitive assay of 13,14-dihydro-15-ketoprostaglandin F2 alpha, a metabolite of prostaglandin F2 alpha appearing in human blood. The compound was chemically conjugated to beta-galactosidase from Escherichia coli. The enzyme-labeled antigen was mixed with a sample containing 13,14-dihydro-15-ketoprostaglandin F2 alpha, and the mixture was allowed to react competitively with the antibody immobilized in a polystyrene tube. The activity of beta-galactosidase bound to the antibody was assayed by fluorometry. The enzyme activity was plotted against the amount of authentic 13,14-dihydro-15-ketoprostaglandin F2 alpha to obtain a calibration curve, and the compound was detectable over a range of 10 fmol to 10 pmol. Prostaglandins were extracted from human serum by the use of an octadecylsilyl silica column, and the extract gave an abnormally high level of 13,14-dihydro-15-ketoprostaglandin F2 alpha by enzyme immunoassay due to the presence of unidentified interfering substance(s), which was removed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The purified material gave a value in the order of 0.1 pmol per ml of human serum. Validity of the enzyme immunoassay was confirmed by radioimmunoassay and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of a methyl ester n-butoximedimethylisopropylsilyl ether derivative.
