title: An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for 6-keto PGF1 alpha.
abstract: An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for 6-keto prostaglandin F1 alpha, a stable metabolite of prostacyclin, has been developed. The assay allows quantitation of 6-keto PGF1 alpha in the range 1-200 pg/0.1 ml and shows very low cross reactivity to nine other prostaglandins. Dose dependent stimulation by thrombin of 6-keto PGF1 alpha formation in human endothelial cells in culture has been used to verify the assay. Quantitation by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay agrees closely with determination by radioimmunoassay.
