  • Title: [Radioimmunoassay of the progestagen dienogest using various methods of sample preparation of plasma].
    Author: Hieu DK, Reddersen G, Wehrberger K, Hobe G.
    Journal: Pharmazie; 1986 Oct; 41(10):711-4. PubMed ID: 3823114.
    Abstract:
    For the radioimmunological determination (RIA) of the progestagen dienogest (1, 17 alpha-Cyanomethyl-17 beta-hydroxy-estra-4,9-dien-3-one) in plasma three methods of sample preparation were tested and compared: Extraction of plasma samples with dichlormethane (I), binding of plasma dienogest to an antiserum added; removal of non-bound steroids by means of activated charcoal, extraction of dienogest using dichlormethane (II), using the RIA without extraction of plasma samples after partial precipitation of proteins by means of ammonium sulphate (III). The reliability of the dienogest-RIA is, characterized by a limit of detection of 3.2 pg (I, III) and 5 pg (II) per tube, respectively, by "within-assay"- and "between-assay" variation coefficients of 3 to 5% and 3 to 9%, respectively, in parallel determinations and by a high rate of recovery of dienogest (greater than 90%) added to plasma. The application of the parallelism test method to different plasma volumes confirms the accuracy of method I and II. When method III was applied to plasma samples with low concentrations of dienogest parallelism wasn't found in all cases.
