Determination of ADP-ribose and poly(ADP-ribose) by a new radioimmunoassay. 1978

R Bredehorst, and A M Ferro, and H Hilz

A specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay for ADP-ribose has been developed on the basis of the selective conversion of ADP-ribose to 5'-AMP by alkaline treatment. Antibodies highly specific against 5'-AMP allowed quantification of ADP-ribose converted to 5'-AMP in the range of 1-40 pmol, and in the presence of large quantities of nucleic acids or 3'-AMP. Poly(ADP-ribose) could also be determined when degraded to ADP-ribose by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase. Determination of the chain length of purified polymer was possible by a parallel determination of ADP-ribose residues after glycohydrolase treatment and of 5'-AMP from the non-reducing end obtained by phosphodiesterase catalyzed hydrolysis. The high specificities of the alkaline conversion of ADP-ribose to 5'-AMP and of the radioimmunoassay for 5'-AMP allowed quantification of protein-bound ADP-ribose residues in crude tissue extracts as verified by comparison with chromatographically purified samples.

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.
