Studies on Setting up of Radioimmunoassay System of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

갑상선자극(甲狀腺刺戟)호르몬의 방사면역측정법(放射免疫測定法) 확립(確立)에 관한 연구(硏究)

Various TSH RIA kit components were prepared. Conditions for $^{125}I$ labelling of h-TSH were optimized by diminishing the amount of chloramine-T, ertending reaction time and lowering reaction temperature. Yield, specific activity, and immunological activity could be maintained moderately under such mild reaction conditions. The mixture of polyethyleneglycol(PEG) and second antibody worked effectively as a B/F separation agent. Even though the mixture was made with more diluted PEG and second antibody than those of using the sole component separately, the tine required for the B/F separation was shorter in case of using the mixture. The sequential saturation technique was efficient than those of applying ordinary equilibrium saturation technique in assay sensitivity and assay precision points of view.
