Acid phosphatase for monitoring prostatic carcinoma. Comparison of radioimmunoassay and enzymatic techniques. 1983

T D Moon, and R L Vessella, and M Eickhoff, and P H Lange

We compared a commercial radioimmunoassay kit with an enzymatic assay for prostatic acid phosphatase in monitoring the progression or remission of disease in 27 patients with prostatic cancer. In 5 of the 18 patients whose disease progressed, and in 4 of the 9 whose disease responded to treatment, the change was reflected better by the radioimmunoassay. In no case was the enzymatic assay better. Radioimmunoassay for prostatic acid phosphatase may be an effective and sensitive way to monitor the course of carcinoma of the prostate.

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
