Presence of immunoreactive corticotropin-releasing factor in human cerebrospinal fluid. 1983

T Suda, and F Tozawa, and T Mouri, and H Demura, and K Shizume

Immunoreactive corticotropin-releasing factor (I-CRF) was measured by radioimmunoassay and immunoaffinity chromatography in human hypothalamus and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Dilution curves of I-CRF in the hypothalamus and CSF were parallel to that of synthetic ovine CRF standard. I-CRF content in the hypothalamus was 643 and 281 fmol eq, respectively. I-CRF concentration in CSF was 7.4 +/- 1.1 fmol eq/ml. Sephadex G-75 column chromatography showed the main peak eluted at the position of synthetic CRF.

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
D002846 Chromatography, Affinity A chromatographic technique that utilizes the ability of biological molecules, often ANTIBODIES, to bind to certain ligands specifically and reversibly. It is used in protein biochemistry.

D003346 Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone A peptide of about 41 amino acids that stimulates the release of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE. CRH is synthesized by neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, CRH stimulates the release of ACTH from the PITUITARY GLAND. CRH can also be synthesized in other tissues, such as PLACENTA; ADRENAL MEDULLA; and TESTIS.
