✦ Synopsis
A radioimmunological method is presented for the determination of the quantity of prostaglandin F2 alpha in cut wounds on the skin of guinea pigs. Rapidly increasing quantities of prostaglandin F2 alpha can be found in skin cuts, and the level reaches 71 ng/g within the 1st hour after the injury. In the postmortem period, the quantities calculated in the cuts while the animals were still alive gradually decreased and reached a value of 17 ng/g in the 6th h after death. In postmortem cuts, inflicted in the 8th h after death, the prostaglandin was 14-18 ng/g. In later postmortem cuts the quantity was about 9-10 ng/g. Establishing the dynamics of the quantitative changes permits investigation of the prostaglandin to be used to certify whether the victim was alive or not, as well as when the skin damage was inflicted.
