Abstract We directly estimated plasma aldosterone radioimmunologically with use of an antiserum raised against an aldosterone-3-oxime/bovine serum albumin conjugate, the estimation being on samples with and without heating (60 degrees C), and diluted and undiluted. Values so obtained were compared with those by radioimmunoassay after extraction and chromatography. The correlation--even negative values were obtained--was poorest when the steroid was directly estimated in nonheated, undiluted plasma. Correlations were best (r = 0.918) for preheated and diluted native plasma, and the interassay CV was 9.8% (n = 57). However, there were some extraordinarily high values. After equilibrium dialysis of native and preheated (60 degrees C) plasma (15 plasma samples), the percentages of apparent free aldosterone and cortisol increased from 51.4 +/- 2.6% (SEM) to 64.3 +/- 1.6% and from 11.5 +/- 2.2% to 61.1 +/- 1%, respectively. We conclude that aldosterone-binding proteins play a role in direct radioimmunoassays of aldosterone in plasma, but by heating (with or without diluting) the plasma, direct assay can be used as a simple, fast, and inexpensive screening method.

The purpose of this project was to develop a valid quantitative enzymeimmunoassay (EIA) for progesterone in blood plasma of cattle, pigs and sheep. Rabbit anti-progesterone, mouse monoclonal anti-rabbit IgG, authentic progesterone, and acetylcholine esterase bound covalently to progesterone were the principal reagents used to develop the EIA. Ninety-six well microliter plates were coated with mouse monoclonal anti-rabbit IgG and saturated with bovine serum albumin before use. Rabbit anti-progesterone was diluted to a working dilution of 1:2.0 × 106. Standard curves were linear and ranged from 1.56 to 400 pg of progesterone per well which allowed for the measurement of 0.03125 to 8.0 ng mL−1. Assay sensitivity averaged 1.56 pg well−1. Progesterone was extracted from plasma samples with petroleum ether. Plasma samples (n = 3 or 4 from each species) with unknown amounts of progesterone that were extracted and serially diluted with EIA buffer did not deviate from parallelism with progesterone standard curves in buffer. The correlation between EIA and radioimmunoassay (RIA) measurements of progesterone in the same plasma samples was high (P < 0.0001) for all three species (r = 0.96 for bovine; r = 0.96 for porcine; r = 0.94 for ovine). The regression of EIA data on RIA data produced the following equations:[Formula: see text]The intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were 5.4 and 10.6% for bovine, 5.8 and 11.0% for porcine and, 6.1 and 12.3% for ovine, respectively. These data show that this EIA is a valid and reliable memod for quantitating progesterone in extracts of bovine, porcine and ovine plasma.

Abstract An easy, sensitive, competitive indirect enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay (CI-ELISA) for specti nomycin in chicken plasma was developed. Preparation of a spectinomycin-bovine serum albumin conjugate in which the hapten is linked to the carrier protein through the C-4 position is described. Antibodies raised against antigens in rabbits had excellent specificity for spectinomycin, exhibiting a cross-reactivity of 44.0% with dihydrospectinomy-cin and 13.8% with tetrahydrospectinomycin. No cross-reactivity was observed with other antibiotics. The detection limit of the CI-ELISA was 2 ng/mL (equivalent into 40 ng/mL undiluted chicken plasma) spectinomycin. Known amounts (0.1-100 μg/mL) of spectinomycin were added to chicken plasma and then analyzed. Average recoveries were 97-110%. This procedure may be used without prior extraction of samples.

SUMMARY Five guinea-pigs actively immunized against a prostaglandin F2α(PGF2α)–bovine serum albumin conjugate showed elongated oestrous cycles. During these, corpora lutea were maintained in a functional secretory state as indicated by plasma progesterone levels. The results are compatible with the view that the PGF2α antibodies neutralized the PGF2α released from the uterus and thus prevented its normal luteolytic effect. Similar patterns of progesterone secretion were observed in two hysterectomized animals and in two animals with intra-uterine implants of indomethacin.

Arsenic contamination in groundwater is a global health challenge. A large number of people worldwide are affected by arsenic poisoning. Paracetamol is a widely used analgesic-antipyretic drug. Effect of arsenic on paracetamol binding to protein has been investigated using two site specific probes and equilibrium dialysis method was used for the experiment. In absence of any site specific probes free concentration of paracetamol bound to bovine serum albumin increased from 3.95 ± 1.164% to 25.36 ± 1.164%. In presence of site-I specific probe warfarin sodium the % release of drug was steady at around 14%. But in presence of site-II specific probe an increment of free drug concentration was observed from 14.38 ± 1.164% to 54.72 ± 1.552%. Thus it can be assumed that the free concentration of paracetamol was increased to a greater extent in presence of arsenic and probably arsenic bound to site-II of BSA. Thus arsenic may displace paracetamol by binding with high affinity binding site, site-II in the BSA and probably arsenic has little effect to site-I.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/icpj.v1i11.12061 International Current Pharmaceutical Journal 2012, 1(11): 361-365
