چکیده

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).

A solid-phase enzyme immunoassay for serum ferritin.

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 metho...

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 ...

Three commercial methods for serum ferritin compared and the high-dose "hook effect" eliminated.

We evaluated four commercial kits for measuring serum ferritin, based on three techniques: immunoradiometric assay, radioimmunoassay, and enzyme immunoassay. The kits evaluated were those manufactured by Abbott Laboratories, Clinical Assays, Corning Medical, and Ramco. Two of the immunoradiometric kits showed satisfactory results with respect to sensitivity and precision; they should be useful ...

Establishment of reference ranges for ferritin in neonates, infants, children and adolescents.

Ferritin was determined in the sera of 631 healthy neonates, infants, children and adolescents (age range 5 days to 18 years), using the IMx from Abbott Laboratories. The applied test was a microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA). The proband collective was divided into 9 age groups, and each group into males and females. In accordance with the recommendations of the International Federation of...

The 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...
