An improved radioimmunoassay for 4-androstene-3,17-dione. 1977

L N Parker, and P K Grover, and W D Odell

A radioimmunoassay using an antiserum produced against 6beta-hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione-6-succinyl-BSA conjugate is described which permits the rapid determination of 4-androstene-3,17-dione in multiple serum samples that are purified by column chromatography on neutral alumina. Steroids which reacted significantly with the antiserum were found to be 5alpha-androstane-3,17-dione, 5beta-androstane-3,17-dione, and 6beta-hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione. After column chromatography on alumina, however, the only significantly cross-reacting steroids were the 5alpha and 5beta-androstane-3,17-diones, while cross-reactivity from other steroids was reduced to less than 1%.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008797 Metyrapone An inhibitor of the enzyme STEROID 11-BETA-MONOOXYGENASE. It is used as a test of the feedback hypothalamic-pituitary mechanism in the diagnosis of CUSHING SYNDROME. Methbipyranone,Methopyrapone,Metopiron,Metopirone,Métopirone,SU 4885
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.
