Heterophilic antibody interference in commercial immunoassays; a screening study using paired native and pre-blocked sera.
BACKGROUND Heterophilic antibodies are still an important source of interference in immunoassays. We have conducted a screening study for interference in a panel of commercially available assays using two sera known to contain high titer Fc-reactive heterophilic antibodies. METHODS The sera were distributed to laboratories participating in the Nordic External Quality Assessment cooperation (E...
متن کاملEliminating interference from heterophilic antibodies in a two-site immunoassay for creatine kinase MB by using F(ab')2 conjugate and polyclonal mouse IgG.
Heterophilic antibodies interfere in two-site immunoassays. Our purpose was to screen for the samples containing heterophilic antibodies that react with mouse immunoglobulins and to use them to determine how to eliminate interference in various two-site immunoassays being developed in our laboratory. Of approximately 2600 samples screened, 81 had heterophilic antibodies. When creatine kinase MB...
متن کاملReducing heterophilic antibody interference in immunoassays using single-chain antibodies.
Sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) microarrays can simultaneously quantify the levels of multiple diagnostic targets in a biological sample. However, as with traditional ELISA diagnostics, endogenous antibodies in patient sera can cause interference. We demonstrate here that reducing the diagnostic capture antibody to its minimal functional unit (i.e., a single-chain antibody fr...
متن کاملMisleading FT4 measurement: Assay-dependent antibody interference
Introduction: Commonly used free thyroxine (FT4) immunoassays can be falsely elevated due to interference causing misinterpreted thyroid function. We present two cases with high FT4 concentrations due to antibody interference. This study’s aim was to investigate the source of the FT4 immunoassay interference and possibility of its removal by two different techniques in order to correct the disc...
متن کاملHeterophilic antibodies: a problem for all immunoassays.
We verified that antibody-binding substances in serum that interfere in two-site immunoassays involving murine antibodies are heterophilic antibodies. Incubation of serum containing heterophilic antibodies and a murine monoclonal antibody to human choriogonadotropin (hCG) leads to formation of a series of soluble immune complexes. We investigated the recognition of hCG by reagent antibody in th...
