    Abstract:
    Solid phase fluoroimmunoassay of serum 11-deoxycortisol (17,21-dihydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione) was established using fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled 11-deoxycortisol and anti-11-deoxycortisol antibody-conjugated polyacrylamide beads. 21-Amino-17-hydroxyprogesterone (21-amino-17-hydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione) was synthesized as a useful derivative for preparing the fluorescent dye conjugate. Serum 11-deoxycortisol was measured with this assay system after extraction and purification by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. The minimal amount of 11-deoxycortisol detected was 40 pg/tube and the measurable range was from 0.04 to 5.0 microgram/dl. Intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were 8.3% (n=6) and 9.8% (n=5), respectively. 11-deoxycortisol values determined by the present assay correlated well with those determined by radioimmunoassay. The present assay is particularly suitable for estimating the conditions of the pituitary and adrenocortical functions.
