title: [Study on 125I-labeled human chorinic gonadotropin after purification through gel electrophoresis].
abstract: Radioiodination of HCG with 125I Na using chloramine-T is widely employed. However, 125I-HCG damages in storage and thus results in decrease of immunological and biological activities. When 125I-HCG was in store as long as 30 days, the immunological activity and biological activity decreased from 100% to 33.1% and 44.0%, respectively. We used polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to purify 125I-HCG which had been kept in store for 30 days since radiolabeling, and we found the binding capacities of purified 125I-HCG increased. The combination rates of purified 125I-HCG with antibody and receptors accounted for 90.5% and 95.3% of those of 125I-HCG 1 day after radiolabeling. These results suggest that 125I-HCG which has been stored for a period since radiolabeling should be purified before use.
