IMMUNOLOGICAL REACTIVITY OF PURIFIED HUMAN PARATHYROID HORMONE
Abstract
Immunological differences between human and bovine parathyroid hormones are detected with highly purified preparations of each hormone and several antisera produced against bovine parathyroid hormone. The immunological differences found show the necessity for using a reference preparation of human hormone in assays for parathyroid hormone in human serum.
