Development of a test method to detect growth hormone abuse in sports

Resource description

Project Title: Development of a test method to detect growth hormone abuse in sports

Researchers: C. Strasburger, Z. Wu, (Charite Campus Mitte, Berlin, Germany), M. Bidlingmaier (Ludwig-Maximilians University, Munich, Germany)

Year accepted: 2002

Summary: In this investigation, we have shown that all the 4 immunoassays for GH doping detection have very lower cross-reaction with the most hGH-related homologous proteins or peptides, implicating that the assays are very specific and their performance will not be disturbed by such proteins or peptides in physiological concentration.
