| pubmed-article:6186769 | pubmed:abstractText | The solid-phase immunoassay for quantification of substance P has been developed. The assay is based on the repartition of anti-substance P antibodies between the insoluble phase-immobilized substance P and the free peptide. The immobilized substance P-antibody complex is then quantified with 125I-protein A. The method allowed detection of 10 pg of substance P. The values of substance P concentration obtained by the present method in different regions of the rat brain were comparable to those obtained by standard radioimmunoassay with 125I-tyr-8-substance P as tracer. The described solid-phase radioimmunoassay is a simple, sensitive, and reliable technique for quantification of substance P-like immunoreactivity in biological samples. | lld:pubmed |
