    A new radioimmunoassay accurately measures total thyroxine in serum or plasma quickly and at room temperature. This precise assay is ideal for experimental research requiring high accuracy in thyroxine level determination.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Immunoassay Development
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of thyroxine (T4) is crucial for diagnosing thyroid disorders and for research.
    • Existing methods for T4 measurement may be time-consuming or require sample extraction.
    • There is a need for a rapid, precise, and convenient assay for total thyroxine.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel radioimmunoassay for the direct measurement of total thyroxine in unextracted serum or plasma.
    • To validate the performance characteristics of this new assay, including speed, precision, accuracy, and sensitivity.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a radioimmunoassay utilizing the sequential saturation principle.
    • Use of a high-affinity antiserum as the binder and ammonium 8-anilino-1-naphthalene-sulphonate as the displacing agent.

  • Separation of bound and free fractions using activated charcoal at room temperature.

    • Main Results:

    • The assay provides total thyroxine measurements in unextracted serum or plasma within 4 hours.
    • A linear standard curve was observed in the range of 0-136 nmol/l serum.
    • High precision was achieved with within-assay standard deviations from 1.3 to 4.1 nmol/l and between-assay standard deviations from 0 to 3.3 nmol/l.
    • 100% recovery of added thyroxine and a sensitivity of 6 nmol/l were demonstrated.
    • Mean thyroxine concentration in young bull plasma was 92 nmol/l.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed radioimmunoassay is rapid, precise, and sensitive for measuring total thyroxine.
    • The assay's ability to measure directly in unextracted serum or plasma simplifies the procedure.
    • This method is highly suitable for experimental applications demanding high precision in thyroxine level determination.
