Tilapia serum was acidified with 0.5 M HCl and then chromatographed on an octadecasily-silica column. After washing with 4% acetic acid, the column was eluted with methanol. The eluate was evaporated to dryness. The sample cross-reacted in a human insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) radioimmunoassay, suggesting immunochemical similarity to human IGF-I. IGF-I-like immunoreactivity was present at high levels in tilapia liver. Other tissues containing IGF-I-like immunoreactivity included the gonad, kidney, heart, spleen, brain and muscle. The serum IGF-I-like immunoreactivity was attributed to substances with a molecular weight of 9,000 and 45,000 respectively, and it was elevated after treatment with bovine growth hormone and carp pituitary extract.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007334 Insulin-Like Growth Factor I A well-characterized basic peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and to circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like, and mitogenic activities. This growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on GROWTH HORMONE. It is believed to be mainly active in adults in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR II, which is a major fetal growth factor.

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.
