(Revised manuscript received 21 August 1978)

The frequent clinical and research requirement for measurement of both plasma luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) has prompted the development of a simultaneous radioimmunoassay for these two hormones. The considerable advantages of a simultaneous method include an economy of plasma volume, assay reagents, test-tubes and, more importantly, the time required for radioactive counting and performance of the assay by technical staff. The latter two factors comprise a significant proportion of radioimmunoassay operating costs.

This report describes a simultaneous radioimmunoassay based on the use of 131I-labelled FSH, 125I-labelled LH, anti-FSH serum M93 6873 (a generous gift from Professor W. R. Butt, Birmingham), anti-human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) serum for LH measurement (Donald, 1972) and donkey anti-rabbit precipitating serum (Wellcome Reagents, U.K.) for separation of antibody-bound and free hormones. Pituitary gonadotrophin standard (LER 907)

ABSTRACT

Circulating free thyroid hormone concentrations are reduced in subjects taking long-term phenytoin, a finding at variance with their euthyroid clinical state and normal serum TSH concentration. It is suggested, therefore, that phenytoin may modify the cellular effects of thyroid hormones.

In order to examine the influence of phenytoin on thyroid hormone action in the pituitary gland we studied its effect on the binding of tri-iodothyronine (T3) to isolated nuclei prepared from rat anterior pituitary tissue. Phenytoin inhibited the nuclear binding of T3 in a dose-dependent fashion. Phenytoin also partially inhibited thyrotrophin-releasing hormone-stimulated TSH release from cultured rat anterior pituitary cells. These studies provide evidence for a direct effect of phenytoin on the thyrotroph mediated via nuclear T3 receptor binding.

SUMMARY

An immunoradiometric assay for parathyroid hormone has been developed. Antisera to bovine parathyroid hormone (BPTH) were screened for their ability to bind BPTH and human parathyroid hormone (HPTH). A BPTH-immunoadsorbent was used to extract antibodies from an antiserum which did not discriminate between BPTH and HPTH in a standard radioimmunoassay. These antibodies were labelled with 125I for use in the immunoradiometric assay. With this system as little as 5 pg BPTH and 8 pg HPTH could be detected. The serum concentration of BPTH was shown to rise in a cow rendered hypocalcaemic by an infusion of EDTA. Sera from patients with hyperparathyroidism contained high concentrations of hormone. These sera were found to dilute-out parallel to calibration curves obtained using HPTH extracted from parathyroid adenomata. The advantages of this method over the standard radioimmunoassay are discussed.
