Comparison of ARCHITECT chemiluminiscent microparticle immunoassay for determination of Troponin I in serum with AXYM MEIA technology
Introduction: The aim of this study was determination of troponin I at serum using Architect (Abbott) and AxSYM System (Abbott). Troponin is regulatory subunit of the troponin complex associate with actin filament within muscle cells and it is a marker for diagnosis of myocardial damage. Methods: We used Architect STAT chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) and AxSYM microparticle En...
متن کاملMulti-centre study of a new CEA enzyme immunoassay using monoclonal antibodies.
The use of a new monoclonal enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) (Enzymun-Test CEA) was evaluated in a multi-centre study. Fifteen different laboratories [participated in the study. Data from the investigation were analysed in terms of precision, sensitivity, specificity and correlation with other test methods. The intra-assay coefficient of variation was between 1.3%...
متن کاملFalse-positive IgM serology in coccidioidomycosis.
The clinical observation has been made that there might be an unacceptable number of false-positive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) test results for IgM among persons suspected of having coccidioidomycosis. Patients with a positive result for IgM by EIA are thought to have a diagnosis of acute coccidioidomycosis. However, this study found that 82% of patients with an IgM-positive and IgG-negative EIA ...
متن کاملExpression analysis of beta-secretase 1 (BACE1) enzyme in peripheral blood of patients with Alzheimer\'s disease
Background: Recent evidence has indicated that beta-secretase 1 (BACE1) is involved in the production of amyloid beta (Aβ) in patients affected with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Therefore; the purpose of this study was to measure mRNA and plasma levels of BACE1 in AD patients, as an early diagnosis biomarker for such individuals. Methods: A total number of thirty AD patients and thirty normal sub...
متن کاملDiagnosis of coccidioidomycosis with use of the Coccidioides antigen enzyme immunoassay.
BACKGROUND We have previously shown antigenuria in patients with coccidioidomycosis through use of the Histoplasma antigen enzyme immunoassay (EIA), and now we have developed a specific Coccidioides antigen EIA. METHODS The Coccidioides EIA uses antibodies to Coccidioides galactomannan. The sensitivity of the Coccidioides and Histoplasma EIAs was evaluated in patients with more-severe coccidi...
