Title: Glucagon Radioimmunoassay Using Antiserum 30K: Interference by Plasma
Abstract: Studies of a glucagon radioimmunoassay using antiserum 30K suggest that when plasma samples from different individuals are assayed against a single standard curve, an inappropriately wide range of values for fasting human pancreatic glucagon levels is obtained. Evidence is presented that plasma from different subjects contains non-specific factors which interfere with the assay. These factors depress the binding of labeled glucagon but appear to be neither pancreatic glucagon nor an enteric factor with glucagon-like immunoreactivity.
