[Urinary LHRH: radioimmunological assay and physiological significance]. 1978

P C Sizonenko, and K C Copeland, and L Paunier, and M L Aubert

A LHRH-like substance is detectable in the urine. It is extractable by glass powder, which suggests that it is a peptide, and it can be concentrated by anti-LHRH affinity chromatography, strongly suggesting that it is not a contaminant in the RIA. It is composed of very little intact LHRH, and the great majority appears as multiple smaller fractions, although the possibility of "urinary LHRH" being a slightly larger peptide containing a sequence similar or identical to that of LHRH has not been entirely eliminated. Urinary measurements show no correlation with the clinical state, and the widely differing values obtained using different antisera in the present study emphasize the need for in-depth antiserum binding studies prior to clinical use in the LHRH radioimmunoassay.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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. Radioimmunoassays
D002846 Chromatography, Affinity A chromatographic technique that utilizes the ability of biological molecules, often ANTIBODIES, to bind to certain ligands specifically and reversibly. It is used in protein biochemistry.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
