The iodination(I-125) of follicle stimulating hormone, using N-bromosuccinimide, lactoperoxidase or iodo-beads oxidators

The iodination (I-125) of Follicle Stimulating Hormone, using N-bromosuccinimide, lactoperoxidase or iodo-beads oxidators. FSH 125I is one of the FSH RIA Kit reagents utilized for the determination of FSH concentration in blood serum, to study the coordination disorder of the principal hormones, i.e. hypothalamus, pituitary and gonads. To produce a good quality of FSH 125I as a component of FSH RIA Kit, a research on the iodination(I-125) of FSH employing mild oxidant N-bromosuccinimide, lactoperoxidase, and iodo-bead has been performed. The percentage of labelling, the immunology activity and Non Specific Binding(NSB) of the labelled products were determined. The immunology activity in (%) B/T and non specific binding (%) NSB were compared with Amersham FSH RIA Kit. By the N-bromosuccinimide method, the labelling obtained was 25%, immunology activity B/T 22% (Amersham 25%) and NSB 1.3% (Amersham 1.2%). The results of labelling employing lactoperoxidase was 8.2%, immunology activity B/T 34% (Amersham 38%) and NSB 2.6% (Amersham 0.8%). Whereas labelling with Iodo-beads method produce 18%, immunology activity B/T 25% (Amersham 35%) and NSB 0.6% (Amersham 0.7%). The labelled FSH 125I was stable with in one month stored at 4 degrees centigrade. (authors). 7 refs., 4 tabs., 1 fig
