Abstract excerpt
A steroid binding capacity assay and a radioimmunoassay were both used to measure corticosteroid binding globulin (CBG) in serum samples from 22 patients with sepsis. An approximately 50% discordancy between the two values in one patient suggested the presence of a CBG variant with reduced affinity for cortisol, and this was confirmed by Scatchard analysis. We therefore used the polymerase chain reaction to...
