A chemical approach to solving bridging phenomena in steroid radioimmunoassays
摘要:
Steroid radioimmunoassays (RIA) employ antibodies raised against a carrier protein-steroid conjugate. Individual antibodies may recognize the steroid, the protein or the chemical bridge used to join them together. Use of the same bridge in the tracer results in higher affinity binding of the tracer than the native ligand which in turn results in a loss of sensitivity and precision. We have greatly reduced bridge-binding in a RIA for androstenedione. Conjugates and radioiodinated labels were prepared with either an ester or either chemical bridge. By using an antibody and the corresponding label with the heterologous bridge very sensitive assays were obtained.

Antibody used in a steroid radioimmunoassay raised against a steroid hapten-carrier protein conjugate may recognize both the hapten and the chemical bridge to the protein. Use of the same bridge in the radio-isotopic label may lead to higher affinity binding to the label than to the native steroid. Inhibition curves under these conditions are shallow and generally not acceptable for radioimmunoassay procedures. We have developed a radioimmunoassay for androstenedione that employs different bridges at the 11 beta position of the steroid for the protein conjugate and label. The resulting assay has greatly reduced bridge-binding, has an acceptable slope for the standard curve and is very specific as evidenced by low crossreactivies to other steroids.
