We report the first solid-phase radioimmunoassay for triiodothyronine with use of antibody-coated tubes, which is designed specifically for the fully automated radioimmunoassay instrument, Micromedic Systems' "Concept 4 Automatic Radioassay." Antisera to triiodothyropropionic acid/bovine serum albumin were raised in rabbits, purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, and coated onto polypropylene tubes. Analytical recovery of exogenous triiodothyronine added to sera from normal men and women and pregnant women was quantitative. Intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation are 4-5 and 6-9%, respectively. Correlation coefficients (r) for comparison of sample values with those obtained by three commercial laboratories were 0.95, 0.84, and 0.91. The sensitivity of the assay is 0.5 microng/liter. The assay can be performed either manually or be fully automated on the "Concept 4."

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
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

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
D003429 Cross Reactions Serological reactions in which an antiserum against one antigen reacts with a non-identical but closely related antigen. Cross Reaction,Reaction, Cross,Reactions, Cross
D005260 Female Females
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
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.

D014284 Triiodothyronine A T3 thyroid hormone normally synthesized and secreted by the thyroid gland in much smaller quantities than thyroxine (T4). Most T3 is derived from peripheral monodeiodination of T4 at the 5' position of the outer ring of the iodothyronine nucleus. The hormone finally delivered and used by the tissues is mainly T3.
