[Heterogeneity of ovine prolactin after labeling with iodine 125: value of labeling with lactoperoxidase]. 1976

G Vescovi, and F Boller, and F Belleville, and P Nabet, and P Paysant

The authors have shown an heterogeneity of the ovine prolactine molecule after labelling with iodine 125. As well with chloramine T as with lactoperoxydase, it appears three molecular species which react with the immune serum antiprolactine (I.S.). The first species is of high molecular weight and is probably constituted of aggregates. Their combination with the I.S. is non specific and give blanks of high value. The second species is a dimere and the third one is the monomere. The two last species react with the I.S. and can give competition curves when they are choosen as tracer. However, if one uses as tracer a product obtained by labelling with chloramine T, the competition appears for high concentrations of native hormone. As if the I.S. recognizes much more the labelled protein than the native one. But if one uses the same species but labelled with lactoperoxydase, the competition appears for concentrations lower than five nanogrammes. In the same time one can see that the specificity toward different I.S. is modified. The authors think that the labelling with lactoperoxydase better preserves the tertiary structure of the native protein than do the labelling with chloramine T.

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
D007553 Isotope Labeling Techniques for labeling a substance with a stable or radioactive isotope. It is not used for articles involving labeled substances unless the methods of labeling are substantively discussed. Tracers that may be labeled include chemical substances, cells, or microorganisms.

D010544 Peroxidases Ovoperoxidase
D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.

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
D002700 Chloramines Inorganic derivatives of ammonia by substitution of one or more hydrogen atoms with chlorine atoms or organic compounds with the general formulas R2NCl and RNCl2 (where R is an organic group). Chloroamines
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
