Radioimmunoassay for assessing exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, based on the differential enzymatic degradation of cobalamin-binding proteins.
    Clinical chemistry, 1986, Volume: 32, Issue:3

    Pancreatic proteases degrade the protein moiety of the R protein-cobalamin complex but not the intrinsic factor-cobalamin complex. Accordingly, we used these two proteins as substrates in an in vitro enzymatic assay to assess pancreatic function by incubating basal jejunal fluids with a mixture of intrinsic factor and cyano[57Co]cobalamin coupled to R-type protein and then using immunoprecipitation to determine the distribution of isotopically labeled cobalamin bound to the two proteins. With normal jejunal fluids, 91.2 (SD 6.1)% and 4.5 (SD 5.5)% of cyano[57Co]cobalamin was precipitated with antisera to intrinsic factor and anti-R protein, respectively. In the patients' jejunal fluids, the cyano[57Co]cobalamin precipitated with the respective antisera was 5.3 (SD 10.0)% and 96 (SD 6.2)%. In patients with other gastrointestinal problems, the sequestration of cobalamin was indistinguishable from that observed with the normal fluids. The clearcut discrimination this radioimmunoassay provided between abnormal and normal samples was confirmed by parallel comparative chromatographic analysis.

Pancreatic exocrine function testing.
    The Western journal of medicine, 1981, Volume: 135, Issue:5

    It is important to understand which pancreatic function tests are available and how to interpret them when evaluating patients with malabsorption. Available direct tests are the secretin stimulation test, the Lundh test meal, and measurement of serum or fecal enzymes. Indirect tests assess pancreatic exocrine function by measuring the effect of pancreatic secretion on various nutrients. These include triglycerides labeled with carbon 14, cobalamin labeled with cobalt 57 and cobalt 58, and para-aminobenzoic acid bound to a dipeptide. Of all these tests the secretin stimulation test is the most accurate and reliable if done by experienced personnel. However, the indirect tests are simpler to do and appear to be comparable to the secretin test at detecting pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. These indirect tests are becoming clinically available and clinicians should familiarize themselves with the strengths and weaknesses of each.

In vivo evidence that intrinsic factor-cobalamin complex traverses the human intestine intact.
    Biochimica et biophysica acta, 1981, Jul-17, Volume: 675, Issue:3-4

    Ingested cyano[57Co]cobalamin was recovered as coupled to intrinsic factor from the jejunum of healthy humans. This vitamin-protein complex and the analogous complex from patients having exocrine pancreatic insufficiency were indistinguishable from each other in terms of molecular radius (3.30 nm), ionic nature (eight well-defined isoproteins isoelectric at pH 4.71, 4.84, 4.90, 5.13, 5.23, 5.31, 5.40 and 5.69), and antigenic structure. These findings indicate that the pancreatic proteases do not alter the intrinsic factor cobalamin complex in vivo. Purified R type protein-cyano [57Co]cobalamin complex recovered from patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency was similar to the analogous gastric protein in terms of molecular radius (alpha = 4.78 nm) and types of isoproteins (seven well-defined isoproteins isoelectric at pH 2.70, 3.03, 3.38, 3.74, 3.87, 4.05 and 4.20). However, this R protein complex from patients and the intrinsic factor complex from both control subjects and from patients was comprised of more of the acidic type of isoproteins, thereby supporting the notion that carbohydrate-rich isoproteins are more resistant to digestion in the intestine.
