  • Title: Assay of plasma 25-hydroxy vitamin D.
    Author: Morris JF, Peacock M.
    Journal: Clin Chim Acta; 1976 Nov 01; 72(3):383-91. PubMed ID: 975590.
    Abstract:
    A radio-competitive protein-binding assay for 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 (25-OHD3) is described using diluted plasma from patients with vitamin D deficient osteomalacia as the binding protein. The 25-OHD3 is extracted from plasma with ethanol and assayed directly without further purification. An incubation of two hours is used to give suitable binding. The lower detection limit of the assay is approximately 23 pg, the intra-assay coefficient of variation is 5.4% and the inter-assay variation 15%. Tth a mean of 26.9 mug/l. Levels of plasma 25-OHD3 are undetectable in patients with vitamin D deficient osteomalacia and greater than 110 mug/l in patients taking large doses of vitamin D2.
