  • Both are information molecules
  • DNA stores genetic information

Group II hormones
E M B - R C G
29
The hormone binds to its receptor on the cell
surface, and does not enter the cell
A second messenger is required to carry the
message inside the cell
E M B - R C G
The second messenger is produced by an effector

The GTP-bearing a-subunit dissociates from the b-
and g-subunits
The a-subunit goes and binds to adenylate
cyclase
E M B - R C G
Adenylate cyclase is activated
Active adenylate cyclase produces cAMP

Radio-immuno-assay (RIA)

91
Briefly, the steps are
A series of tubes, marked S1, S2, S3, S4 etc
(standards) and U (unknown), is set up
E M B - R C G
A fixed, and relatively small, amount of antibody
(Ab) is added to each tube
A fixed amount of labeled hormone (Ag) is
added to each tube
EMB-RCG
92
Unlabeled hormone (Ag) is added to tubes
marked S1, S2, S3 , S4 etc in increasing
amounts (C1, C2, C3 , C4 etc)
E M B - R C G
Patients serum having an unknown amount of
unlabeled hormone (CU) is added to the tube
marked U
EMB-RCG
93
(No Transcript)
94
The tubes are incubated for a fixed period
Ag and Ag compete with each other to
bind to the limited amount of Ab
E M B - R C G
Some Ab combines with Ag and some with Ag
EMB-RCG
95
The tubes are centrifuged
E M B - R C G
Ag-Ab and Ag-Ab complexes settle at the
bottom

An ELISA plate with wells molded in it
105
E M B - R C G
106
The steps are
Standard hormone solutions in increasing
concentrations (C1, C2, C3 etc) are added to the
wells marked S1, S2, S3 etc
E M B - R C G
Patients serum having an unknown hormone
concentration (CU) is added to the well
U
Hormone molecules bind to the fixed
antibody molecules
EMB-RCG
107
A second antibody recognizing a different
epitope of the antigen (hormone) is tagged with
an enzyme
E M B - R C G
It is added to each well in a relatively large
amount
The enzyme-linked antibody also binds to the
hormone
EMB-RCG

110
The unbound enzyme-linked antibody molecules are
washed off
E M B - R C G
Each well now contains complexes of the fixed
antibody, the antigen and the
enzyme-linked antibody
EMB-RCG
111

A fixed amount of substrate of the enzyme is
added to each well
The enzyme converts the substrate into a coloured
product

113

After a fixed incubation period, intensity of
colour (absorbance) is measured in each well
E M B - R C G
The absorbance is proportional to the enzyme
concentration
The enzyme concentration is proportional to the
hormone concentration
EMB-RCG
114
A calibration curve is plotted between the
known concentrations of hormone (C1, C2,
C3 etc) and the absorbance
E M B - R C G
The hormone concentration in the patients
serum (CU) can be read off from the
calibration curve
