Electron paramagnetic resonance, photo-acoustic spectroscopy and thermally stimulated luminescence for identification of thermally stimulated processes in gamma-irradiated LaBa2F7

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a reliable biochemical marker used in screening for prostate carcinoma. Immunoradiometric assays (IRMA) are generally used for the estimation of total/free PSA in serum samples. Radiolabeled antibody, an important reagent of IRMA was prepared and characterized using an in-house anti-PSA monoclonal antibody (Mab), Mab-2S. Mab-2S was radiolabeled with ¹²⁵I and characterized for immunoreactivity and radiochemical purity. The usability of the radioiodinated Mab as tracer in IRMA was ascertained using authentic reagents for IRMA of PSA.
