Development of a solid-phase radioimmunoassay for the determination of arginine-vasopressin in urine. 1985

P Larose, and J Gutkowska, and P du Souich, and H Ong

A new solid-phase radioimmunoassay (RIA) has been developed for measuring arginine-vasopressin (AVP) in urine. AVP is first extracted from urine by adsorption on Vycor glass powder and eluted with acetone-water (60:40). The mean recovery is 75.3 +/- 2.2% (n = 18). The organic extract is evaporated to dryness and reconstituted in the assay buffer. Aliquots of this extract are then incubated with 125I-AVP in polystyrene LKB tubes previously coated with the antiserum (1:50000) for 48 hours. The free radioactive fraction is removed by aspiration and the tubes are counted. Values correlate well with those obtained by liquid-phase RIA using dextran-charcoal. Urinary AVP concentrations in normal Sprague-Dawley rats and rats with varying degrees of hydration have been measured.

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.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001127 Arginine Vasopressin The predominant form of mammalian antidiuretic hormone. It is a nonapeptide containing an ARGININE at residue 8 and two disulfide-linked cysteines at residues of 1 and 6. Arg-vasopressin is used to treat DIABETES INSIPIDUS or to improve vasomotor tone and BLOOD PRESSURE. Argipressin,Vasopressin, Arginine,Arg-Vasopressin,Argipressin Tannate,Arg Vasopressin
