The development and application of a direct radioimmunoassay for plasma aldosterone using 125I-labeled ligand--comparison of three methods. 1978

E A Al-Dujaili, and C R Edwards

A direct, rapid, sensitive, and highly specific radioimmunoassay for plasma aldosterone has been developed using aldosterone conjugated to [125I]histamine as ligand and a highly specific aldosterone antiserum. This assay permits the direct measurement of plasma aldosterone without preliminary extraction or purification steps and hence allows a single technician to assay 500 samples in a week. An excellent correlation was obtained between the results of the direct assay and the levels measured after paper chromatography (n = 43, r = 0.99, P less than 0.001) or after extraction (n = 43, r = 0.99, P less than 0.001). The coefficients of variation for intra-assay and inter-assay determinations of samples from a normal plasma pool were 7.6% and 9.3%, respectively.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007457 Iodine Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of iodine that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. I atoms with atomic weights 117-139, except I 127, are radioactive iodine isotopes. Radioisotopes, Iodine
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
D011869 Radioligand Assay Quantitative determination of receptor (binding) proteins in body fluids or tissue using radioactively labeled binding reagents (e.g., antibodies, intracellular receptors, plasma binders).
