Specific 125I-radioimmunoassay for cholyglycine, a bile acid, in serum.

Abstract: The concentration of the conjugated bile acid, cholylglycine, in serum is a sensitive and specific indicator of hepatic function. We describe a convenient, specific, and precise radioimmunoassay for cholylglycine, in which 125I-labeled cholylglycyltyrosine is used as tracer. In addition, a blocking agent in the buffer system eliminates binding of bile acids to serum albumin. Therefore no extraction is required. We found no interference by (a) abnormal concentrations of albumin or gamma-globulin, (b) lipemic se… Show more

“…To determine if the vitamin E deficiency state further altered liver function in children with chronic cholestasis, blood tests of hepatic injury and function were monitored before and at 6-to 12-month intervals during the course of vitamin E therapy. Fasting blood was obtained for analysis of serum cholylglycine (radioimmunoassay; CG, Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, Ill.) (20), AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, total and direct bilirubin, albumin, total protein, cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids (15), prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time. During this study (in 1982), the antibody used in the cholylglycine kit was changed by the manufacturer.…”

“…Cholyglycine (CG) is a circulating conjugated bile acid derived from cholic acid and glycine. Several reports show that serum CG levels are usually abnormal in liver diseases such as viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, cirrhosis, and pediatric liver diseases . Currently, there are several techniques to estimate CG levels in serum including gas‐liquid chromatography , fluorescence polarization immunoassay , radioimmunoassay , and EMIT .…”
