The technique was introduced in 1960 by Berson and Yalow as an assay for the concentration of insulin in plasma.
It represented the first time that hormone levels in the blood could be detected by an invitro assay.
Dr. Rosalyn Yalow became the firstfemale to win a Nobel Prize withher work on the radioimmunoassay
HISTORY
![Page 3: Radio immuno assay](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5560e1c7d8b42afb7b8b499b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
ANTIGENSANTIGENSAn antigen is a substance with the ability to
induce an immunological response. They
typically enter the body from an infection.
They are recognized at their epitopes by B
cells or by the T cell receptor on T cells.
Proteins or glycoproteins make the best
antigens because they are the best at
stimulating antigen recognition molecules.
Some immunoassays test for antigens, rather
than antibodies.

ANTIBODIESANTIBODIES
• Antibodies are produced by the
B-lymphocytes. They are glycoproteins
belonging to the “immunoglobulin supergene
family” that are produced in response to a
foreign substance in the body.
• Antibodies have a generally common structure,
but have regions that vary among them to
accommodate the specific antigens.

PRODUCTION OF PRODUCTION OF ANTIBODIESANTIBODIES
Polyclonal antibodies are more likely to
produce a false positive because they are less
specific to antigen epitopes and have varying
binding affinities.
◦ A mouse (or rabbit) is immunized by being
injected with an antigen; the antigen
generates an antibody response in the animal.
◦ The animal is bled and the antibodies are
collected.

LABELS IN LABELS IN IMMUNOASSAYSIMMUNOASSAYS
Immunoassays require the use of labeled materials in order to measure the amount of antigen or antibody present. A label is a molecule that will react as part of the assay, and in doing so produce a signal that can be measured in the solution. Examples of a label include a radioactive compound, or an enzyme that causes a change of color in a solution or its fluorescence .

PRINCIPLEPRINCIPLE
Radioimmunoassay (RIA) involves the separation of a protein (from a mixture) using the specificity of antibody - antigen binding and quantitation using radioactivity.
![Page 10: Radio immuno assay](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5560e1c7d8b42afb7b8b499b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Radioimmunoassay (RIAs) utilize a radioactive label (usually 125I, 3H or 14C), which emits radiation that can be measured with a beta or gamma counter.
![Page 11: Radio immuno assay](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5560e1c7d8b42afb7b8b499b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The technique of radioimmunoassay has revolutionized research and clinical practice in many areas, e.g.,
◦blood banking
◦diagnosis of allergies
◦endocrinology
![Page 12: Radio immuno assay](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5560e1c7d8b42afb7b8b499b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
THE TECHNIQUETHE TECHNIQUE
A mixture is prepared of ◦radioactive antigen Because of the ease with which iodine
atoms can be introduced into tyrosine residues in a protein, the radioactive isotopes 125I or 131I are often used.
◦antibodies against that antigen.
Known amounts of unlabeled ("cold") antigen are added to samples of the mixture. These compete for the binding sites of the antibodies.
![Page 13: Radio immuno assay](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5560e1c7d8b42afb7b8b499b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
At increasing concentrations of unlabeled antigen, an increasing amount of radioactive antigen is displaced from the antibody molecules.
The antibody-bound antigen is separated from the free antigen in the supernatant fluid, and the radioactivity of each is measured.

CALIBRATION CURVECALIBRATION CURVE
From these data, a standard binding curve, like thee one shown in red, can be drawn.
The samples to be assayed (the unknowns) are run in parallel.
![Page 17: Radio immuno assay](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5560e1c7d8b42afb7b8b499b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
After determining the ratio of bound to free antigen in each unknown, the antigen concentrations can be read directly from the standard curve.
![Page 18: Radio immuno assay](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5560e1c7d8b42afb7b8b499b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SEPARATING BOUND FROM SEPARATING BOUND FROM FREE ANTIGENFREE 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).
![Page 19: Radio immuno assay](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5560e1c7d8b42afb7b8b499b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ADVANTAGESADVANTAGES
Radioimmunoassay is widely-used because of its great sensitivity.
Using antibodies of high affinity, it is possible to detect a few pictograms (10−12 g) of antigen in the tube.
The greater the specificity of the antiserum, the greater the specificity of the assay

DRAWBACKSDRAWBACKSThe main drawbacks to
radioimmunoassay are the expense and hazards if preparing and handling the radioactive antigen.
Both 125I or 131I emit gamma radiation that requires special counting equipment;
The body concentrates iodine atoms — radioactive or not — in the thyroid gland where they are incorporated in thyroxine (T4).
