Abstract:
:In this new radioimmunoassay system for determination of amatoxins in urine and plasma, a novel chemical approach is used for antigen and 125I-tracer production, based on a detoxified alpha-amanitin derivative (aldoamanitin). Total assay time, including data processing, is less than 100 min. The lowest detectable concentration is 1 microgram/L for urine, 0.1 microgram/L for plasma. In the clinically significant range, within-run CVs are less than 8%. This new 125I-based assay is a significant improvement over existing 3H technology in terms of speed, precision, and freedom from interference.
