We describe the preliminary steps for a radio-immunoassay of Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH). Rabbit antiserum at dilution 1 : 10 000 is used with radioiodinated TRH (125I). We are able to assay from 5 to 1 000 pg unlabeled TRH with an intraassay reporducibility varying from 7 to 4 % and the lowest detectable amount in this system is 10 pg TRH. TRH mean and standard deviation in normal subjects are 136,9 and 25,3 pg/ml.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
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.

D013973	Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone	A tripeptide that stimulates the release of THYROTROPIN and PROLACTIN. It is synthesized by the neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, TRH (was called TRF) stimulates the release of TSH and PRL from the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.
