Description

A sensitive 125I-urokinase (UK) radioimmunoassay (RIA) is described. 125I-UK was prepared by the chloramine T method. Its specific radioactivity was 14.8 x 105 Bq/μg. The antiserum against UK was raised by immunizing healthy New Zealand white rabbits with a mixture of UK and Freund's complete adjuvant. A titer of antiserum at 1:2000, and an affinity constant of 1.62 x 1010 L/mol, was specific for UK. The mean recoveries in serum and urine were 99.4 ± 5.0% and 101.1 ± 7.4%, respectively. THe value of coefficient of variation, intraassay and interassay were both less than 10%. The low detection limit for UK antigen was 0.18 ng. The detection range was 0.38 ∼ 12.16 ng/tube. Serum and urine UK levels in normal controls were 6.37 ± 1.28 ng/ml (n = 74) and 39.30 ± 18.04 ng/ml (n = 49), respectively
