✦ Synopsis
A radioimmunoassay (KU) for vitamin B is described. Antisera were raised in rabbits using a conjugate between S-0-succinyl cyanocoba#min and chicken serum albumin. The antibody is largely specific for the fi (upper) face of the vitamin B molecule. The RfA can detect vitamin B down to concentrations of 37 pmol/L and correlated we&r = 0.980,~ < 0.001) with a commercial +adioassay. The use of this RIA, together with an assay for plasma methylmalonic acid, in the diagnosis of cobalt/vitamin B12 deficiency in sheep is described.
