ABSTRACT:
A radioimmunoassay method for the determination of brain antigens or protein such as S-100 responsible for neurological disorders is disclosed. The method involves preparing a standard blood plasma or serum formulation containing substantially none of the protein being assayed and approximately the average degree of non-specific competitive binding found in the unknown blood sample and mixing known quantities of the protein being assayed with the standard blood formulation to provide a reference standard. The unknown blood sample is then mixed with a radioactively labeled sample of the protein being assayed and an antibody capable of immunoreactivity with the protein, the mixture is incubated, the antibody bound protein is separated from the unbound protein and the relative amounts of antibody bound and unbound protein are determined. Then, the antibody mixing, incubation and separation steps are separately repeated with an unknown blood sample from which the protein being assayed has been substantially removed to provide information for the calculation of a corrected protein level. The amount of the protein being assayed is then determined from the reference standard and the separate determinations made with the unknown blood samples both with and without the protein being assayed present therein.
