It has reeently been reported (Szabo and Mahler 1970) that the in vitro addition to plasma of l-leueine, I-arginine, or epinephrine alters the level of immunoassayable insulin. An apparent increase in the plasma insulin levels was observed with the addition of leueine and arginine and a deerease was seen after the addition of epinephrine. These experiments were done using a radioimmunoassay in which tale was used to separate free insulin from antibodybound insulin (Rosselin, Assan, Yalow and Berson 1966). We have performed similar experiments using a double antibody precipitation radioimmunoassay (Morgan and Lazarow 1963) and have observed no effect on plasma insulin levels after the in vitro addition of these substances. Materials and Methods: Blood sampIes were obtained from 3 healthy subjeets 30 minutes after the administration of an oral glucose load. All plasma samples were kept frozen until assay amall studies were done in the same assay. Poreine insulin* was used for iodination (1131 ) and as the standard preparation. L-Ieucine (Mann), I-arginine (Mann), and tolbutamide (Orinase Upjohn Co.) were dissolved in water and diluted so that a coneentration of 50/ug/ml was present in the reaetion mixture. The reaetion mixture eoneentration of epinephrine was 0.125/ug/ml. At these concentrations, leucine, arginine, and epinephrine have been reported to affect the talc radioimmunoassay (Szabo and Mahler 1970). The radioimmunoassay mixture contained 0.02 /uU I 131-insulin, guinea pig anti-insulin serum (final dil., 1:85,000), 2.0 to 40/uU/ml standard insulin, or a 1:10 or 1:20 dilution of test plasma. A 500 /ul reaction mixture volume was aehieved with 0.05 M veranal buffer pR 8.2 with 0.02 M EDTA and 2.5% bovine serum albumin. After 4 days incubation at 4 0 C, 50Lul rabbit anti-guinea pig serum was added and incubated for 16 hours. After addition of 50/ul normal guinea pig serum the precipitate and supernatant were separated by centrifugation and deeantation. Results: Duplieate standard curves with the addition of leucine, arginine, tolbutamide, or epinephrine had no effect on the insulin-anti-insulin reaction when eompared with the eurve with no additions (Fig. 1). Plasma samples from the 3 normal subjeets were assayed in triplieate without and with the addition of leueine, arginine, epinephrine, and tolbutamide. The mean plasma insulin values read from the standard curve with no additive were 67 (Subject 1), 69 (Subjeet 2), and 400 uU/ml (Subject 3). The addition of the
