An in vitro assay for measurement of gastric juice intrinsic factor (IF)
was developed based on the ability of the cobinamide (Cbi) [(CN, OH) Cbi]
to bind to the gastric juice R-type binders of cobalamin (Cbl) and not to
the IF binder. Subsequently added radioactive Cbl, CN-[57Co] Cbl, binds
only to the IF binders and allows for direct measurement of this Cbl
binding protein. This Cbi blocking assay was found to function as well as
the more conventional methods of IF measurement, G-100 column
chromatography, and IF blocking antibody assay. The present assay has the
advantage of eliminating the need for elaborate forms of protein separation
and does not rely on a source of antibody.
