Measurement of human dopamine-beta-hydroxylase in serum by homologous radioimmunoassay. 1975

R A Rush, and P E Thomas, and S Udenfriend

Human serum dopamine-beta-hydroxylase [3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine, ascorbate: oxygen oxidoreducatse (beta-hydroxylating), EC 1.14.17.1] levels have been determined in 52 samples with a newly devised radioimmunoassay that utilizes purified human enzyme and its specific antiserum. The values obtained were in excellent agreement (correlation coefficient r equals 0.98) with those obtained by measuring enzymatic activity in the same sera. Either assay technique, enzymatic or homologous radioimmunoassay, can be used for measurement of the enzyme in normal human serum.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.
