The RIA of immunoreactive somatostatin (IRS) in unextracted rat plasma has proved difficult because of marked tracer degradation. The presence of 0.1 ml plasma in standard curve tubes resulted in more than 80% damage to [Tyr1-125I]-somatostatin (SRIF) and only 2.7% binding compared to 38% in plasma free buffer. Sephadex gel filtration of [Tyr1-125I]SRIF after plasma incubation showed that most of the radioactivity was converted to a lower molecular weight fragment with no immunoreactivity. EDTA and Trasylol did not prevent [Tyr1- 125I]SRIF degradation. Destruction of [Tyr1-125I]SRIF was overcome by extraction of plasma with acid-ethanol in a simple 1-step procedure. With this technique, recovery of synthetic SRIF from plasma averaged 93.8%. Assay sensitivity was 30 pg IRS/ ml plasma. Exogenous SRIF incubated with rat blood was rapidly inactivated with a t/12 of 17 min at 37 C and 76 min at 22 C. The mean portal plasma IRS level was 310 pg/ml (n = 18; range, 106–570 pg/ml), in good agreement with the IRS c...
