The evaluation of the salivary PAF has possible by using the radio immuno assay method (RIA). We wanted to study the presence of such substance in the saliva under physiological conditions and particularly in relation to possible existence of a circadian rhythm or periodical oscillations. The work has been developed in two phases. In the first one we evaluated the daily salivary PAF amount while in the second phase of the study we verified the existence of a possible circadian rhythm. The results encouraged us to extend the study to the typical, different physiological aspects of such phospholipid having as objective the control of the salivary PAF amount in pathological 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. Radioimmunoassays
