title: Comparison of Bolton-Hunter and chloramine-T techniques for the radioiodination of prostatic acid phosphatase.
abstract: A double antibody, semi-automated radioimmunoassay for serum prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) is described, which uses the 125I-labelled N-succinimidyl-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate ester of PAP. This type of label has substantially higher immunoreactivity than that prepared using the chloramine-T method of radioiodination. Chromatographic purification of either label on Ultrogel ACA44 further improved immunoreactivity. The lowest detection limit (0 . 35 micrograms/l) was achieved with the chromatographically purified ester label.
