Abstract. An antiserum (NG-1) against bovine PTH (bPTH) generated in the domestic goat was characterized for use in the radioimmunoassay of PTH in human serum. When a carboxyterminal fragment of bPTH is used as radioligand, this antiserum detects only an antigenic site in the central region of the hPTH molecule. The synthetic hormone fragment, hPTH-(44-68), will displace 93% of the tracer, after which the addition of intact hPTH causes no further displacement. The assay does not detect the synthetic aminoterminal 1-34 fragment of the bovine or human hormones, nor the carboxyterminal fragment of the human hormone, hPTh-(53-84). Standard curves with bPTH-(1-84) and partially purified hPTH are not parallel, so that hPTH is used as standard. Serum from subjects with uraemia or primary hyperparathyroidism gives dilution curves parallel to that with the hPTH standard. The assay with NG-1 has been applied to the diagnosis of primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism, used to monitor the disappearance of PTH after parathyroidectomy, and for measurement of PTH in selective venous samples.

The assay of parathyroid hormone has contributed greatly to our understanding of calcium metabolism in health and disease. The most important clinical application of the assay is in the differential diagnosis of hypercalcaemia, which is an increasing clinical problem. PTH assays are of little or no value in the absence of other biochemical data, especially accurate determinations of plasma calcium and phosphate.

Abstract A radioimmunoassay is described for parathyroid hormone in human serum, in which commercially available reagents are used almost exclusively. This assay can be done by any laboratory with experience in radloimmunoassay. Thirty-two of thirty-three patients with surgically proven primary hyperparathyroidism had detectable concentrations of parathyroid hormone in their serum, and concentrations of the hormone exceeded the normal range in 24 of them. Significant positive correlations were found between pre-operative serum calcium, pre-operative serum parathyroid hormone, and the weight of parathyroid tissue removed at operation. These three parameters were also significantly correlated with severity of the skeletal changes as assessed by semiquantitative histological methods.
