The comparative use of 3H and 125I tracers in steroid radioimmunoassays will be discussed around the following points: 1. 3H. a)
they can be purchased commercially and have a long shelf-life. b) Disadvantages: they may have reduced affinity for antibodies due to "isotope effects"; the counting of beta-emitters is more expensive and difficult; 3H tracers are not available for all steroids. 2. 125I. a)
gamma-counting is cheaper, simpler and more precise; 125I tracers may have higher affinity for antibodies than unlabelled steroids; 125I can be used to label any steroid. b) Disadvantages: 125I tracers have a limited shelf-life (n.b. six months for 125I histamine tracers). The high affinity of some tracers will be a big disadvantage if the unlabelled steroid cannot compete effectively.
将围绕以下几点讨论在类固醇放射免疫分析中3H和125I示踪剂的比较使用:1. 3H。a) 优点:可商业购买且保质期长。b) 缺点:由于“同位素效应”,它们对抗体的亲和力可能降低;β发射体的计数更昂贵且困难;并非所有类固醇都有3H示踪剂。2. 125I。a) 优点:γ计数更便宜、更简单且更精确;125I示踪剂对抗体的亲和力可能高于未标记的类固醇;125I可用于标记任何类固醇。b) 缺点:125I示踪剂的保质期有限(注意,125I组胺示踪剂为六个月)。如果未标记的类固醇不能有效竞争,一些示踪剂的高亲和力将成为一个很大的缺点。
