A column radioassay for the quantification of vitamin B-12.

A rapid and convenient column radioassay for the quantification of vitamin B-12 in clinical specimens has been developed. A mixture of the specimen and radiolabeled B-12 was applied to a column containing immobilized intrinsic factor and allowed to incubate for two hours. A buffer wash then separated bound and free B-12. The average intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation over the range of interest was about 30 pg/ml in the sample and recovery and parallelism studies gave satisfactory results. The values obtained for clinical specimens by the column procedure correlated well with those obtained by reference method.

Direct radioimmunoassay for unconjugated estriol in pregnancy serum, with use of a radioiodinated derivative of estriol.

We describe a rapid and direct 125I-based radioimmunoassay for quantification of unconjugated (free) estriol in pregnancy serum. Estriol in serum is adsorbed onto a small column of Sephadex, thereby allowing its separation from proteins and interfering materials. A radioiodinated derivative of estriol (6-ketoestriol-6(o-carboxymethyl)oxime-[125I]tyrosine methyl ester) is added to the column, followed by a limiting amount of antiserum. After incubation, the antibody-bound hormone is separated by a buffer wash. The assay exhibits satisfactory recovery and parallelism, and the intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation are less than 10%. The values obtained by using the assay correlate well (r = 0.97) with those from a comparison method in which solvent extraction and chromatographic purification are used.
