| Popis: | A sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay has been developed for 18-hydroxy-corticosterone (18-OH-B) and applied to the measurement of this steroid in peripheral plasma. High specific activity label (3H-18-OH-B) was prepared using the incubation of 3H-corticosterone with duck adrenal mitochondria. Antisera were produced by immunisation with 18-OH-B gamma-lactone 3-oxime conjugated to bovine serum albumin. The antibodies examined showed 100% cross-reactivity with 18-hydroxy-deoxycorticosterone gamma-lactone (18-OH-DOC gamma-lactone), but minimal cross-reactivity with other steroids. Paper chromatography was used to separate 18-OH-DOC gamma-lactone from 18-OH-B gamma-lactone. The interassay precision was 7.6% and the intra-assay precision 11.0%. The accuracy of the method was confirmed by showing a linear relationship between amounts of 18-OH-B added and amounts of 18-OH-B gamma-lactone measured (y = 0.854 X +15.1, r = 0.9. p less than 0.001). The mean plasma level in normal subjects on an ad libitum sodium intake was 225 +/- 92.7 (SD) pg/ml (n = 17) when standing, and 99 +/- 38.3 (SD) pg/ml (n = 6) after lying down for 30 minutes. |
