Enzyme-immunoassay of thromboxane B2 at the picogram level. 1985

M Sawada, and T Inagawa, and J C Frölich

A highly sensitive and reproducible enzyme-immunoassay for the measurement of thromboxane B2 was developed. Thromboxane B2 (TxB2) was coupled with beta-D-galactosidase by mixed anhydride reaction. Thromboxane B2-antiserum was generated in rabbits and used at a final dilution of 1:480,000. The separation of immunocomplex from the free form of TxB2 was accomplished by the double antibody method. The second antibody was sheep anti rabbit IgG. The precipitated enzyme activity was measured fluorometrically with 4-methyl-umbelliferyl-beta-D-galactoside as substrate. This method allowed to measure TxB2 in the range of 0.002-5 picomole per tube. The cross-reactivity of the anti-thromboxane B2-antiserum with 2,3-dinor thromboxane B2 was about 20%, but it was less than 0.2% for the other prostanoids tested. TxB2 extracted from human urine was measured by enzyme-immunoassay (y) and radioimmunoassay (x) which has been found closely correlated to values obtained by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Regression analysis of the data comparing enzyme-immunoassay and radioimmunoassay gave the equation y = 0.996 x + 0.470, correlation coefficient r = 0.9947. Inter-assay coefficient of variation was 3.1%. The assay was further simplified by coating the second antibody on glass beads. The regression equation between this solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (y) and radioimmunoassay (x) was y = 0.9860 X 1.927, r = 0.9895, and enzyme immunoassay (y) was y = 0.9749 X -0.94808, r = 0.9887. Thus, the enzyme-immunoassay shows specificity and sensitivity comparable to radioimmunoassay making use of radioactive tracer unnecessary.
