Abstract
The methodology and characterization of a double antibody radioimmunoassay (RIA) for quantitating parotid hormone (PH) in biological fluids are reported. A specific antiserum against PH was raised in rabbits using PH conjugated to human serum albumin. Its binding capacity and association constant were 22 μg/ml and Ka = 1.01 × 10-12 M-1, respectively. The sensitivity of the RIA was 1.5 pg PH when a sequential incubation schedule was used. This RIA makes possible the quantitation of PH in biological fluids and tissue extracts.
