A radioimmunoassay for extracted, N-acetylated human serum serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is described. Antisera were raised in rabbits against a conjugate of bovine serum albumin with serotonin hemisuccinamide. Polyethylene glycol in combination with anti-rabbit immunoglobulins was used to separate bound and unbound 125I-Bolton Hunter-serotonin conjugate. Ethanol precipitation of serum proteins was used to extract serotonin, which was subsequently acetylated with acetic anhydride to N-acetyl serotonin. The average recovery was 66%. The minimal detectable concentration of N-acetyl serotonin was 0.012 mumol/l serum (25 fmol per tube). The intra-assay precision (CV) was 6.8% (n = 20) at a level of 0.9 +/- 0.06 mumol/l. The inter-assay CV was 10% at a level of 0.49 +/- 0.049 mumol/l, and 25% (n = 10) at a level of 2.16 +/- 0.53. Analytical recovery of serotonin, corrected for losses during extraction and acetylation, was 99 +/- 13%. The only substance cross-reacting with the antibody was endogenous N-acetyl serotonin. This was detectable when the acetylation step was omitted, and it can be removed by extraction before the acetylation. The observed range for the concentration of serotonin in serum was for 59 women 0.45 - 3.46 (mean +/- SD: 1.37 +/- 0.63 mumol/l) and for 59 men 0.19 - 2.8 (mean +/- SD: 1.18 +/- 0.56 mumol/l). All values are corrected for endogenous N-acetyl serotonin: observed range 0 - 0.18 (mean +/- SD: 0.03 +/- 0.03 mumol/l).
