Abbreviations RIA Radioimmunoassay PSA Prostate specific antigen PCa Prostate cancer PEG Polyethelene glycol NRS Normal rabbit serum Background: Prostate specific antigen (PSA), a glycoprotein secreted exclusively from epithelial cell lining the prostate gland. The level of PSA in human serum may play a critical role in diagnosis of prostatic diseases. Objectives: This study was carried out to set up Radioimmunoassay system for PSA estimation in human serum as a diagnostic tool for Prostatic diseases. Methods: locally produced highly purified PSA was used for preparation of radioimmunoassay components; PSA Polyclonal antibody, radioiodinated PSA Tracer and PSA standards. Optimization and Formulation have been achieved, then validity of this technique confirmed by measuring the quality control parameters; Sensitivity, accuracy, crossreactivity, intra and inter assay precision and method comparison. Results: we found that; Optimized and Characterized Radioimmunoassay system is the most Sensitive, specific, precise and accurate tool for estimation of prostate specific antigen level in human serum. Conclusion: Estimation of PSA with locally produced radioimmunoassay system can be used as a diagnostic tool for diagnosis of prostatic diseases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
