Radioimmunoassay for type I procollagen in growth hormone-deficient children before and during treatment with growth hormone. 1985

D E Carey, and B Goldberg, and S K Ratzan, and K R Rubin, and D W Rowe

Type I procollagen concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay in sera from 14 growth hormone-deficient children before and during 12 months of treatment with human growth hormone. Basal procollagen levels were lower than those of control children and comparable to those of normal adults. With treatment, the mean procollagen level increased into the range of the control children and was significantly greater than the baseline level at 1, 2, 3, and 12 months (p less than 0.01; p less than 0.05). Although there was no significant statistical correlation between the growth velocity during treatment and the serum procollagen level, there was a suggestion that a high basal procollagen may be predictive of a less than optimal response to human growth hormone.

D011347 Procollagen A biosynthetic precursor of collagen containing additional amino acid sequences at the amino-terminal and carboxyl-terminal ends of the polypeptide chains. Protocollagen,Procollagen Type M
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.
