Abstract:
:We have developed and thoroughly validated radioimmunoassays (RIAs) for osteocalcin in plasma and serum, demonstrating independence of volume and determining the recovery of added standard and within- and between-assay precision. Antibodies were raised in rabbits and mice by immunization with either osteocalcin adsorbed to polyvinylpyrrolidone or osteocalcin conjugated to bovine serum albumin. In both species, use of the conjugated osteocalcin was more efficacious. Correlation of the results obtained when groups of plasma or serum samples were analyzed by RIAs with different antibodies (two polyclonal and one monoclonal) indicated that the normal range observed for osteocalcin concentrations in serum depends on the antibody used. These findings may account for the wide range of "normal" osteocalcin values reported by different groups.
