A radioassay for the measurement of cortisol binding capacity in human serum was developed and the results validated by radioimmunoassay of serum corticosteroid binding globulin. The mini-scale method is simple, reliable and rapid, and avoids separation of partitioned phases. The linear correlation between the free cortisol index and free cortisol concentration as calculated by the two methods utilizing serum samples with normal and abnormal protein concentrations was r = 0.962 (n = 114, p less than 0.001) and the regression equation was y = 3.516 x - 2.632. The technique requires no preparation of reagents, and the assay can be performed in 45 minutes using 0.05 ml of serum or plasma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
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
