A competitive microtitre plate enzyme immunoassay for plasma aldosterone was developed using an immobilised aldosterone-bovine serum albumin conjugate and a monoclonal anti-aldosterone preparation, followed by the use of enzyme-labelled second antibodies to determine the degree of competition. The quantity of immobilised aldosterone-protein conjugate was adjusted to give optimum assay sensitivity with respect to the antibodies used. The lower limit of detection of aldosterone (55 fmol) was much less than that of an ELISA for aldosterone, using identical reagents but with an excess of immobilised aldosterone-protein conjugate, and up to 1400 fmol could be determined. Aldosterone levels in small amounts of male and female plasma could be assayed with good reproducibility.

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. Radioimmunoassays
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
