Popis: Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using gel electrophoresis combined with autoradiographic image analysis for quantitating protein drug concentrations in biological fluid for pharmacokinetic studies. Methods: Protein drugs were iodinated using the Iodogen reagent and injected into Sprague–Dawley rats for pharmacokinetic evaluation. Serum samples were analyzed using trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-precipitable counts or sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Commercially available precasted Bis–Tris gradient gels were used for SDS-PAGE. Autoradiography of gel samples was performed using phosphoimager and quantitated using the ImageQuant software. Results: The maximum loading volume for protein drugs with molecular weight close to that of albumin (∼70 kDa) was about 1 μl, whereas for protein drugs with larger or smaller molecular weight (i.e., >80 or
