A direct free thyroxine (T4) immunoassay with the characteristics of a total T4 immunoassay.
BACKGROUND Direct free thyroxine (T(4)) measurements have been linked to both T(4)-binding serum protein concentrations and protein-bound T(4) concentrations. Whether this is evidence of a relationship to total T(4) concentrations has not been reported. METHODS We compared an analog-based direct free T(4) immunoassay and a total T(4) immunoassay. Each assay was applied to the fractions of ser...
متن کاملThyroxine (T4) Autoantibody Interference of Free T4 Concentration Measurement in a Patient With Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
Dear Editor, Interactions of thyroid hormone autoantibodies (THAAs) with thyroxine (T4) or triiodothyronine (T3) are less common than interactions of antibodies to thyroglobulin, microsomal thyroid peroxidase, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor. Nevertheless, these THAAs have been reported to cause spurious thyroid function test (TFT) results, indicating that TFT results do not alwa...
متن کاملFREE THYROXINE (fT4) ENZYME IMMUNOASSAY TEST KIT
Thyroxine, the principal thyroid hormone, circulates in blood almost completely bound to carrier proteins. The main carrier is thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG). However, only the free (unbound) portion of thyroxine is responsible for the biological action. Further, the concentrations of the carrier proteins are altered in many clinical conditions, such as pregnancy. In normal thyroid function a...
متن کاملA sensitive manual enzyme immunoassay for thyroxine.
We describe an immunoassay for thyroxine in serum. In the assay specific antibody covalently bonded to latex particles is used, along with horseradish peroxidase as the label, and o-phenylenediamine as the chromogen. The flexible protocol is designed for manual execution. Performance is similar to that of the highest-sensitivity thyroxine radioimmunoassays. Results correlate well with radioimmu...
متن کاملSemiautomated homogeneous enzyme immunoassay of total serum thyroxine with a kinetic analyzer.
A new semiautomatic procedure for determination of total serum thyroxine was adapted to a kinetic analyzer, LKB 2086 Mark II. The ABA thyroxine assay kit was used, and although the assay procedure was modified, the advantage of small reagent volumes, short measuring times, and automation were retained. The results were analyzed off-line with a programmable desk-top calculator. The method has a ...
