A sensitive time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA) for testosterone was developed, and the assay system was used for measuring serum testosterone concentrations in rainbow trout. Testosterone-3-(O-carboxymethyl)oxime-bovine serum albumin (T-3-CMO-BSA) was immobilized by physical adsorption to the wells of microtiter plates. A competitive assay using two antibodies was performed among T-3-CMO-BSA in the solid-phase, unknown amounts of testosterone, testosterone antibodies, and europium labeled secondary antibodies, followed by measurements using a time-resolved fluorometer (DELFIA system). The TR-FIA had a sensitivity of 0.075 pg/50 microliters sample (1.5 pg/ml), and the range of the assay system was between 1.5 pg/ml and 25 ng/ml. The intra- and interassay coefficients of variation for the testosterone TR-FIA were satisfactorily low, and were between 1.62 and 6.38% and 2.96 and 8.29%, respectively. The assay system was applied to measure the serum testosterone concentrations after an injection of testosterone dissolved in saline, propyleneglycol, or coconut oil. Among the three solvents, the coconut oil group showed continuously high serum testosterone level. In contrast, the saline and propyleneglycol groups had maximum concentrations 24 hr after the injection, but their levels were significantly lower than that of the coconut oil group. The testosterone TR-FIA method is sensitive, repeatable, and is as accurate as conventional RIAs. It is very good for measuring serum testosterone concentrations.
