Principle of the isoform method. rhGH contains 22 kDa and this is specifically recognized by assay 1. Pituitary GH contains multiple isoforms and these are recognized by assay 2. When rhGH is administered, endogenous production of pituitary GH decreases, and therefore the ratio between assay 1 and assay 2 increases after rhGH administration.
