Abstract

A specific double antibody radioimmunoassay (RIA) for human-Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (hCRF) using an antibody to synthetic hCRF was established. This antibody allowed a usable range of 10 pg to 5 ng of CRF per ml in the assay. Comparing the efficiency of various plasma extraction procedures, the extraction with ice-cold methanol was found to be the most simple and rapid method with an extraction efficiency of more than 80%. The reliability of the radioimmunoassay was shown under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
