A specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay (RIA) for the measurement of 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl-E-5-(2-bromovinyl)uracil (BV-araU) in biological fluids has been developed. The assay has a range of 2.5-1,000 ng/ml and 10-1,000 ng/ml for serum and urine, respectively, and has the sensitivity to detect 2.5 and 25 ng/ml of BV-araU in serum and urine, respectively. A satisfactory zero binding and sensitivity were obtained after an overnight incubation at 4 degrees C. Separation of the antibody-bound and free ligand was achieved by employing polyethylene glycol-goat anti-rabbit gamma globulin separant. A quantitative recovery of the exogenous analyte was obtained at all concentrations of BV-araU tested. The assay is specific for the parent drug and is not affected by the presence of its metabolite, BV-U (bromovinyl uracil) or serum components (nucleotides, nucleosides, or sugars). Intraassay coefficients of variation were 3.1-4.4% and 2.5-4.2% for serum and urine controls, respectively. Interassay variability was < 8.6% for all serum and urine controls. Linear regression analysis showed that the correlation between RIA and high-pressure liquid chromatography was excellent (r = 0.997). The ascending dosage studies have been analyzed by the BV-araU RIA, and results indicate that the values of area under the serum concentration-time curve increased proportionally with the administered dose of BV-araU up to 80 mg. Cumulative urinary excretion data showed that approximately 50% of unchanged BV-araU was excreted in the urine within 24 h.

D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

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.
