We measured, by a specific radioimmunoassay, brain-natriuretic-peptide-like immunoreactive (BNP-LI) levels in the umbilical venous and arterial plasma of normal and distressed newborns. The indicated BNP-LI level in umbilical arterial plasma of normal newborns (3.5 +/- 0.9 fmol/ml, mean +/- SEM, n = 10) was significantly higher than that in umbilical venous plasma of the same newborns (2.2 +/- 0.5 fmol/ml). In the distressed newborns at term, the indicated BNP-LI level in umbilical venous plasma was 62.2 +/- 25.7 fmol/ml (n = 4), which was 19-fold higher than that of elective cesarean section cases (3.2 +/- 0.3 fmol/ml, n = 6; p < 0.05). The findings demonstrated that BNP was present in the human fetal circulation and that the plasma BNP level was elevated under fetal distress conditions.

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.
