ABSTRACT
Enzymeimmunoassays (EIA) can be viable alternatives to radioimmunoassays (RIA). Indeed, from an environmental perspective, EIA are preferable to RIA. Therefore, the purpose of this project was to develop a quantitative EIA for 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGFM) in bovine plasma. Acetylcholine esterase bound covalently to PGFM, rabbit anti-PGFM, mouse monoclonal anti-rabbit IgG, and PGFM were the principle reagents used for the EIA. Validation experiments indicated that 1) PGFM standard curves, with doses ranging from 391 to 200,000 fg per microtiter well, were linear; 2) assay sensitivity averaged 391 fg per well; 3) for satisfactory results, PGFM had to be extracted from plasma; 4) content of PGFM in ethyl ether extracts of aliquots from serial dilutions of whole plasma with unknown amounts of PGFM and charcoal-stripped plasma supplemented with known amounts of PGFM did not deviate from parallelism with PGFM standard curves in buffer; 5) correlation between EIA and RIA measurements of PGFM in the same plasma samples was .95; 6) the regression of EIA data on RIA data was linear (Y = .93 x + 83.9; r2 = .91); 7) intra- and interassay coefficients of variation were 3.3 and 10.6%, respectively. The EIA developed in this project is a valid and reliable method for quantitating PGFM in extracts of bovine plasma.
