21-deoxycortisol (21-DF) is a steroid of strictly adrenal origin formed by the 11-hydroxylation of 17-hydroxyprogesterone. This metabolic pathway is minor in normal subjects, in whom basal plasma concentrations range from 0.03 to 0.63 nmol/L and from 0.865 to 1.50 nmol/L

A radioimmunoassay of three deoxycorticoids, namely 11 beta,17 alpha-dihydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione (21-deoxycortisol), 17 alpha,21-dihydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione (11-deoxycortisol), and 21-hydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione (11-deoxycorticosterone) which are important for differential diagnosis of congenital adrenal disorders, is described and evaluated. Antisera against 3-(O-carboxymethyl)oximes conjugated to bovine serum albumin were raised

Plasma 21-deoxycortisol (21DF) is an excellent marker of 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Currently, it is the only marker able to detect heterozygous carriers with 21-hydroxylase deficiency after ACTH stimulation. We have already developed radioimmunoassays for 21DF using first tritiated, then 125I-21DF which
