A radioimmunoassay (RIA) for human pro-LRF(14-69)OH was developed with an antiserum, generated in a rabbit, to [Tyr67]pro-LRF(47-67)NH2 conjugated to BSA. This antiserum bound 28-32% of [125I]pro-LRF(14-69)OH at a final dilution of 1:2500 and the binding was inhibited by pro-LRF(14-69)OH in a dose-dependent manner. The sensitivity of the RIA was 31.2-62.5 pg and the dose that inhibited 50% of the binding to the tracer was 280-320 pg. Intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation at 50% inhibition were 8 and 12%, respectively. Neither LRF nor pro-LRF(14-37)OH was recognized by the antiserum. The dilution curve generated with human hypothalamic extract was parallel to that of pro-LRF(14-69)OH. In addition the extract yielded a major immunoreactive peak emerging in elution volumes concordant with [125I]pro-LRF(14-69)OH on Sephadex G-50 chromatography.

D007106 Immune Sera Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen. Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
D007987 Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone A decapeptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of both pituitary gonadotropins, LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. GnRH is produced by neurons in the septum PREOPTIC AREA of the HYPOTHALAMUS and released into the pituitary portal blood, leading to stimulation of GONADOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.

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.

D000918 Antibody Specificity The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site. Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
