Radioimmunoassay for Human Parathyroid Hormone for Differentiation between Patients with Hypoparathyroidism, Hyperparathyroidism and Normals

Abstract
A RIA system for human PTH is presented using a goat antibody (Code name 017-spring-78) against C-terminal hPTH fragments, as well as a human PTH standard from hemodia-filtration of a hyperparathyroid patient. It proved to be useful for the differentiation not only between hyperparathyroid patients and normals, but even within the normal range and hypoparathyroid states. 1 supported by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, SFB 87 ,,Endokrinologie" Ulm
