Automated particle-counting immunoassay for digoxin.
We describe a non-radioisotopic automated immunoassay for serum digoxin in the therapeutic range at 50 samples per hour by use of the particle-counting immunoassay technique and a special reagent, rheumatoid factor. Digoxin is determined by evaluating its inhibitory activity on the agglutination of digoxin-coated latex particles. The agglutinating system consists of the anti-digoxin IgG mixed w...
متن کاملSerum alpha-fetoprotein: I. Evaluation of quantitative assays adapted to automated immunoassay systems.
Serum alpha-fetoprotein (s.AFP) has been established as a useful tool in monitoring of high-risk pregnancies, as an indicator of fetal neural tube defects, and has been used as an adjunct tumor marker and for monitoring therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of certain tumors. To date, the methods for measuring s.AFP are based upon the immunologic principle and are manual methods. The purpose he...
متن کاملParticle counting immunoassay (PACIA) of ferritin.
Particle Counting ImmunoAssay (PACIA) has been adapted to the determination of serum ferritin. Polystyrene particles (0.8 micrometers) were coated with anti-ferritin antibodies and the concentration of ferritin determined by the agglutinating activity of this protein. The agglutination was measured by the reduction of the number of non-agglutinated particles counted in an optical blood cell cou...
متن کاملMONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES TO HUMAN ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a serum glycoprotein belonging to the onco-developmental proteins group, serves as a marker both in cancer research and in studies concerning fetal development and fetal pathophysiology. Monoclonal anti-AFP antibodies are essential reagents in developing appropriate techniques for measurement of this protein. In this study, in order to produce anti-AFP monoclonal a...
متن کاملTwo-site enzyme immunoassay for alpha-fetoprotein in dried-blood samples collected on filter paper.
This is a method for measuring alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in eluates of dried-blood samples on filter paper by use of a simple, sensitive two-site enzyme immunoassay. The spot, 6 mm in diameter (equivalent to about 12 microL of whole blood), is incubated overnight with alkaline phosphatase conjugated to rabbit anti-AFP antibody in a tube containing a polystyrene bead coated with mouse monoclonal a...
