Description

Radioimmunoassay (RIA) of human growth hormone (hGH) using 125I-labelled tracer prepared from DNA recombinant hGH (r-hGH) and characterization of the tracer in the assay system are described. The radioiodination of r-hGH resulted in high yield of immunoreactive tracer. The immunoreactive fraction could be purified by gel-filtration on sephadex G-75. The quality of radioiodinated tracer of r-hGH has been found to be same as that of the tracer obtained from pituitary hGH (p-hGH) with respect to immunoreactivity, assay sensitivity and RIA standard curve parameters.
