A solid-phase enzyme immunoassay for serum ferritin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe an enzyme immunoassay for human serum ferritin in which antibody adsorbed on polystyrene tubes is used. Adsorbed gamma-globulins against human ferritin were first allowed to react with ferritin and a second antiferritin antibody, labeled with alkaline phosphatase, was added. The amount of bound enzyme/antibody conjugate was proportional to the ferritin titer in the assay. This method offers stable reagents that can be kept for many months at 4 degrees C. The average values for ferritin in normal men and women were, respectively, 58 and 43 microgram/liter. The lowest detectable concentration was 5 microgram/liter.

Solid-phase enzyme immunoassay for serum ferritin.
We describe a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay for ferritin in human serum, with use of a horseradish peroxidase-labeled antibody and a highly sensitive chromogen, 2,2'-azino-di(3-ethyl-benzthiazoline-6-sulfonate). The assay requires only 10 microL of serum per assay, relatively less time and labor than other assys for ferritin, and as little as 10 pg of ferritin can be measured. We believe this ...
متن کاملEnzyme immunoassay for human ferritin.
We describe an enzyme immunoassay with use of beta-D-galactosidase for quantitation of ferritin in human serum. The minimum detectable ferritin concentration is 0.25 microgram/L of serum, which is comparable to results obtained by radioimmunoassay. The correlation coefficient between values determined by enzyme immunoassay and radioimmunoassay was 0.95 (n - 1 = 85, p less than 0.001).
متن کاملEvaluation of a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay for insulin in human serum.
We describe a "sandwich-type" enzyme immunoassay for insulin in serum, in which antibody Fab'-beta-D-galactosidase conjugate and an antibody-immobilized silicone rubber solid-phase are used. The interference by serum factors with the solid-phase enzyme immunoassay can now be removed by using a buffer containing gelatin. Serum samples of 50 microL can be analyzed by the enzyme immunoassay, which...
متن کاملA new solid-phase immunoassay for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase: analysis of TdT antigen in cells, plasma, and serum.
A solid-phase immunoassay for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase has been developed using a primary antibody-coated polystyrene bead and secondary antibody conjugated with horseradish peroxidase. The immunoassay was compared with assays for enzyme activity and detection of antigen with immunofluorescence using cells from peripheral blood and bone marrow from patients with leukemia or lymphom...
متن کاملThe measurement and interpretation of serum ferritin.
Determination of serum ferritin is an important means of assessing body iron stores. Trace amounts of ferritin normally present in serum are detectable by sensitive radioimmunoassay techniques or an enzyme immunoassay procedure. Ferritin normally accounts for no more than a very small fraction of the total iron in serum, but generally maintains a stable concentration that is proportional to the...
