Description

A 125I-labelled derivative of cobalamin (vitamin B12) is described which is compatible with intrinsic factor in binding assays. The derivative, [125I]cyanocobalamin-d-iodohistamide, can be readily prepared with a specific activity of 1400 Ci/g. Used as a substitute for [57Co]cyanocobalamin in binding assays, the new derivative can reduce counting times and decrease costs in such assays. (Auth.)
