title: Radioimmunoassay of 2-hydroxyestrone.
abstract: Under the protection of ascorbic acid a 2-hydroxyestrone bovine serum albumin conjugate was prepared containing intact 2-hydroxyestrone as determined by gas chromatographymass spectometry. Using this antigen highely specific antibodies were raised in rabbits. Cross-reactivity for 2-hydroxyestradiol and 2-hydroxyestriol was 26 and 4.5%, respectively. An assay procedure of 2-hydroxyestrone in human plasma is described. Using special precautions the assay allows the determination of 2-hydroxyestrone in plasma samples of women (50-95 pg/ml), pregnant women (105-220 pg/ml), men (45-65 pg/ml) and children(20-40 pg/ml).
