Amino terminal gastrin fragment in serum of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome patients. 1975

G J Dockray, and J H Walsh

In addition to the previously described molecular forms of gastrin, a new component has been found in high concentrations in the serum of 6 patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Serum was fractionated by gel filtration, and ion exchange chromatography, and the new component was identified in eluates by radioimmunoassay using an antibody with specificity for the N-terminal portion of heptadecapeptide gastrin. The precise chemical nature of the new component is not known, but its chromatographic behavior and its reactivity to various antibodies is indistinguishable from that of the natural or synthetic N-terminal 1 to 13 fragment of G-17. The new component is present in gastrinoma tumor tissue. Its concentration in serum of gastrinoma patients increases markedly when secretin is injected.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007457 Iodine Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of iodine that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. I atoms with atomic weights 117-139, except I 127, are radioactive iodine isotopes. Radioisotopes, Iodine
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. Radioimmunoassays
