Introduced in 1960 by Berson and Yalow as an assayfor the concentration of insulin in plasma. Itrepresented the first time that hormone levels in thebloodcould be detected by an in vitro assay.
Radioimmunoassay (RIA) The technique used inmany areas, e.g.,
Blood banking
Diagnosis of allergies
Endocrinology most of our hormones ;
digitoxin or digoxin in patients receiving these drugs ;
certain abused drugs
for the presence of hepatitis B antigen (HBsAg) indonated blood ;
anti-DNA antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).

The Technique
A mixture is prepared of
radioactive antigen Iodine atoms can be introduced into tyrosine residues in a protein,
the radioactive isotopes125I or131I are often used.
antibodies against that antigen.
Known amounts of unlabeled ("cold") antigen areadded to samples of the mixture. These compete for
the binding sites of the antibodies.
At increasing concentrations of unlabeled antigen, an
increasing amount of radioactive antigen is displacedfrom the antibody molecules.
The antibody-bound antigen is separated from the free
antigen in the supernatant fluid, and

Separating Bound from Free Antigen
Precipitate the antigen-antibody complexes by
adding a "second" antibody directed against the
first.
For example, if a rabbit IgG is used to bind the antigen,the complex can be precipitated by adding an
antirabbit-IgG antiserum (e.g., raised by immunizing a
goat with rabbit IgG).

the radioactivity of each is measured.
From these data, a standard binding curve,
can be drawn. The samples to be assayed (the unknowns)
are run in parallel.
After determining the ratio of bound to free
antigen in each unknown, the antigenconcentrations can be read directly from thestandard curve

Radioimmunoassay is widely-used because
of its great sensetivity.
it is possible to detect a few picograms (1012g) of antigen in the tube.
The main drawbacks to radioimmunoassay
are the expense
hazards if preparing and handling the
radioactive antigen. Both 125I or131I emit gamma radiation that
requires special counting equipment;

Despite these drawbacks, RIA has become amajor tool in the clinical laboratory where it is used
to assay plasma levels of:
most of our hormones;
digitoxin or digoxin in patients receiving these drugs;
certain abused drugs
for the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg) in donated blood;
anti-DNA antibodies in systemic lupuserythematosus (SLE).

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
(ELISA)
ELISA is a widely-used method for measuringthe concentration of a particular molecule
(e.g., a hormone or drug) in a fluid such as
serum or urine. It is also known as enzyme
immunoassay orEIA .
The molecule is detected by antibodies that
have been made against it; that is, for which it
is the antigen. Monoclonal antibodies areoften used.

The test requires :
the antibodies fixed to a solid surface,
such as the inner surface of a test tube ;
a preparation of the same antibodies
coupled to an enzyme. This is one (e.g. B-
galactosidase that produces a coloredproduct from a colorless substrate .

The tubes are filled with the antigen solution (e.g., urine) tobe assayed. Any antigen molecules present bind to theimmobilized antibody molecules .
The antibody-enzyme conjugate is added to the reactionmixture. The antibody part of the conjugate binds to anyantigen molecules that were bound previously, creating anantibody-antigen-antibody "sandwich ."
After washing away any unbound conjugate, the substratesolution is added .
After a set interval, the reaction is stopped (e.g., by adding1 N NaOH) and the concentration of colored productformed is measured in a spectrophotometer. The intensity
of color is proportional to the concentration of boundantigen .

ELISA can also be adapted to measure the concentrationofantibodies .In this case ,
The wells are coated with the appropriate antigen .
The solution (e.g., serum) containing antibodies is added .
After they have had time to bind to the immobilizedantigen ,
an enzyme-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin is added,
consisting of an antibody against the antibodies being tested for. For example, if
human anti-HIV antibodies are being assayed, then antibodies(raised in a goat or rabbit against human immunoglobulins) areconjugated to
the enzyme.
After washing away unreacted reagent, the substrate isadded .
The intensity of the color produced is proportional to theamount of enzyme-labeled antibodies bound and thus to
the concentration of the antibodies being assayed.
