A specific radioimmunoassay for 5′‐deoxyadenosyl cobalamin (ado‐Cbl) has been developed using an antiserum raised to this cobalamin (Cbl). At a 1:100 or greater dilution the antiserum did not bind radiolabelled methyl‐hydroxo‐, sulphito‐ or cyano‐Cbl and these Cbl analogues did not compete in the radioimmunoassay even at 100‐fold higher concentration.The serum concentration (range and mean ± SD) of ado‐Cbl in 30 normal subjects was 47–134 and 81 ± 16 pg/ml. The corresponding values for total Cbl in these sera were 189–610 and 355 ± 144 pg/ml, and the computed values for methyl‐Cbl were 142–476 and 274 ± 127 pg/ml. The coefficient of variation was substantially greater for methyl‐Cbl than for ado‐Cbl (46% v. 21%, respectively). The ado‐Cbl concentration was in the normal range (75–95 pg/ml) in five healthy subjects with a low normal concentration (189–217 pg/ml) of total Cbl. In two subjects with low total Cbl (118 and 170 pg/ml) and without any clinical evidence of Cbl deficiency, ado‐Cbl was normal (63 and 95 pg/ml. respectively). Thus, in this group, low methyl‐Cbl accounted for the lower total Cbl.The concentration (mean ± SD) of serum ado‐Cbl and methyl‐Cbl in six patients with low total Cbl (57 ± 25 pg/ml) and clinical evidence for Cbl deficiency was 35 ± 12 pg/ml and 22 ± 22 pg/ml, respectively. This difference from the normal mean for each cofactor was highly significant (P<0.001). The decrease in the concentration of methyl‐Cbl in Cbl deficiency was relatively greater than the decrease in ado‐Cbl (92% v. 57%, respectively) which raised the relative concentration of ado‐Cbl in Cbl deficiency to 61% of the total Cbl. Although a low serum methyl‐Cbl is a sensitive indicator of Cbl deficiency, it may not be as specific as a decrease in serum ado‐Cbl. Factor(s) other than tissue stores of Cbl may lower serum methyl‐Cbl below the 95% confidence limit in the absence of clinical Cbl deficiency.
