title: Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography of radioiodinated salmon calcitonins.
abstract: Reversed-phase HPLC conditions for simultaneous separation of salmon calcitonin, mono- and di-radioiodinated salmon calcitonins and their tryptic digested fragments have been developed. Salmon calcitonin was radioiodinated with Na125I by the iodo-beads method. After solid-phase extraction from the reaction mixtures using C18 Bond Elut cartridges, mono- and di-radioiodinated salmon calcitonins were separated from each other, as well as from unlabeled salmon calcitonin, on a Bondclone 10 C18 column (300x7.8 mm I.D.) by isocratic elution with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in 34% aqueous acetonitrile. The characteristics of either iodinated peptides or unlabeled salmon calcitonin were evaluated on the basis of UV absorbance (215 and 280 nm), fluorescence (lambda(ex)=282 nm, lambda(em)=310 nm) and measurement of specific radioactivity by means of a flow-through radio-isotope detector. HPLC separation of a tryptic digest of iodinated salmon calcitonin fraction on a W-porex 5 C18 300 A column (250x4.6 mm I.D.) and subsequent amino acid analysis, led to the conclusion that radioiodination took place at the Tyr residue and not at the His moiety.
