High-performance liquid chromatography of 125I-labeled mouse epidermal growth factor radioiodinated by six different methods

Six different procedures for radioiodination of mouse epidermal growth factor (EGF) all resulted in a heterogeneous 125I-labeled EGF preparation, as analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC. EGF preparations that had been iodinated with Chloramine T, lodogen, or lodo-beads were found mainly to consist of oxidized 125I-labeled EGF moieties. In contrast, the heterogeneous 125I-labeled EGF preparations obtained by using iodine monochloride, Protag-125, or lactoperoxidase-glucose oxidase- coupled beads (Enzymobeads) contained insignificant amounts of oxidized EGF entities. Ligand equivalence analysis (LEA) of distinct HPLC column fractions, obtained after preparative separation of Chloramine T-125I- labeled EGF, showed that the receptor-binding affinity of the tracer in all subfractions was less than the affinity of unlabeled EGF. This implies that HPLC purification of these 125I-labeled EGF preparations does not yield 125I-labeled EGF preparations with ligand equivalence. However, all but one HPLC column fraction of Enzymobeads-125I-labeled EGF showed ligand equivalence. Despite the small amount of the nonequivalent component in the Enzymobeads-labeled tracer, the nonchromatographed 125I-labeled EGF preparation showed ligand equivalence. No significant differences were observed in the maximal binding capacity of the different 125I-labeled EGF preparations.
