A rapid and simple method for the on-line concentration and high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) purification of the leukotrienes in good yield from biological fluids is described. Readily available antisera are used in conjunction with this system to give a specific and sensitive assay for leukotrienes B4, C4 and D4 with sub-nanogram limits of detection. Tritium-labelled leukotrienes are used as internal standards, both to locate the leukotrienes post-HPLC and to accurately determine recoveries.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007118 Immunoassay A technique using antibodies for identifying or quantifying a substance. Usually the substance being studied serves as antigen both in antibody production and in measurement of antibody by the test substance. Immunochromatographic Assay,Assay, Immunochromatographic,Assays, Immunochromatographic,Immunoassays,Immunochromatographic Assays
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.
