Abstract

A sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay for cholecystokinin-pancreozymin (CCK-PZ) has been developed, using rabbit antisera to crude porcine hormone. Highly purified porcine CCK-PZ, labelled with 131 I, and repurified by column chromatography on Sephadex G15, was used as tracer. Separation of free from antibody-bound labelled CCK-PZ was carried out using charcoal, ion-exchange resin, or a double antibody procedure. Non-specific interference with the assay system by serum factors was abolished (as judged by in-vitro and in-vivo recovery studies) by boiling and diluting the serum samples before assay. Ninety-nine per cent pure porcine CCK-PZ (standard), commercial CCK-PZ preparations, caerulein, the C-terminal 8- and 12-amino acid fragments of the CCK-PZ molecule, and endogenous human CCK-PZ all cross reacted in the assay system and showed parallel inhibition curves. No significant cross reaction was found with gastrin, secretin, glucagon, or insulin. The sensitivity of the assay is approximately 5 pg per ml of test solution, which proved adequate for measuring physiological levels of CCK-PZ in peripheral blood in man. The mean immunoreactive CCK-PZ concentration in 50 fasting normal subjects was 60·4 pg per ml. The distribution of individual values was skewed, however, so that the median was much lower (30 pg per ml). Older subjects had higher fasting levels of CCK-PZ than were found in young adults.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Such interference has been recognised in immunoassays for cholecystokinin, parathyroid hormone, thyrotropic hormone, glucagon, secretin, angiotensin, growth hormone, vasoactive intestinal peptide, gonadotrophins and gonadotrophin-releasing hormone, all of which were resolved by sample extraction.

    “Such interference has also been recognised in immunoassays for cholecystokinin 80, parathyroid hormone 81, thyrotropic hormone 82, glucagon 83, secretin 84, 85, angiotensin 86, growth hormone 87, vasoactive intestinal peptide 88, gonadotrophins 89 and gonadotrophin‐releasing hormone 90, all of which were resolved by sample extraction.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
