Abstract
Rat luteinizing hormone /LH/ was labelled with125I by the Chloramine T method.125I-LH, used as tracer in radioimmunoassay, was separated from the labelling reaction mixture by gel filtration. By using the proper protein/radioiodine ratio in the labelling reaction mixture the specific activity of125I-LH was adjusted to 2.5–20.5 MBq 
g–1. The influence of the specific activity on the assay parameters as well as on the tracer stability was investigated.
Abstract
A method has been developed enabling the direct coupling of first or second antibody to finely dispersed magnetite (Fe3O4). The immunosorbent thus produced was applied in various radioimmunoassay systems (T3, T4, TSH, Cortisol) for the separation of bound and free antigens. The elimination of the need for 
precoating
the magnetic particles with a polymer has several advantages. One of them lies in the ease of one-step production of the immunosorbent and other is the high antibody/magnetite ratio. The influence of the concentration of the immunosorbent and detergent (TWEEN 20 or TRITON X-100) on the assay parameters (Bo, NSB, etc.) has been systematically investigated and the optimum concentration of the magnetizable particles and detergent has been determined. The reliability of magnetic separation has been validated by comparing it with the conventional PEG separation method.
