Abstract;A sensitive and specific enzyme immunoassay(EIA) for a secretin-like immunoreactive substance(secretin-IS) was developed using a synthetic carboxy-terminal(C-terminal) fragment(residue 5-27) of a porcine secretin conjugated with .BETA.-D-galactosidase and an anti-rabbit lgG coated imunoplate. The activity of the enzyme on the plate was fluorometrically determined. The present immunoassay allows the detection of 1.7 to 67 fmol/ml(0.068 to 2.7 fmol/well) of secretin. Using the present EIA, the secretin-ISs in human plasma were determined. Moreover, significant changes in the plasma secretin-IS Ievels were found after the oral administration of famotidine(vs. placebo). (author abst.)
