Abstract. A sandwich-type enzyme immunoassay system specific for human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) was prepared with the antibody Fab'-β-D-galactosidase complex and the antibody F(ab')2-immobilized silicone rubber solid phase by using a purified antibody to β subunit of hCG (hCGβ). The assay system cross-reacted less than 4% with human luteinizing hormone (hLH) and human follicular stimulating hormone (hFSH), and proved to be highly sensitive with hCG measurable at levels as low as 0.3 mIU per assay tube. Using 50 μl of serum sample, 6–600 mIU/ml of hCG in serum could be determined specifically with the same degree of precision as in radioimmunoassay but without sample interference with the assay. The coefficients of variation within-run and between-run were 8.6–8.9%, and 4.9– 10.7%, respectively. Values obtained with the enzyme immunoassay correlated well with those of radioimmunoassay ([unk] = 0.98, slope = 0.94, y-intercept = 10.2 mIU/ml for 75 serum samples). Results of the immunoassay of hCG levels in serial samples of serum from healthy women and patients with choriocarcinoma show that this method is useful in the clinical diagnosis of trophoblastic disease.

Serum samples from cats and pigs were analyzed by the solid-phase chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (SPCEI), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and indirect latex agglutination (ILA) methods. The SPCEI and ILA methods accurately analyzed Toxoplasma IgG (T-IgG) in both clinical and spiked samples from pigs and cats. The ELISA method accurately analyzed T-IgG in spiked samples from cats and pigs or clinical samples from pigs, but it did not accurately analyze T-IgG in clinical samples from cats. The antibody used in the ELISA kit did not cross-react with cat T-IgG. The SPCEI method that uses a stand-alone automated analyzer provided quantitative analysis, whereas the ELISA and ILA methods provided qualitative or, at best, semiquantitative analysis of T-IgG. The SPCEI and ELISA methods were rapid (60–90 minutes for 30 samples), whereas the ILA method required 13–15 hours for 30 samples. Although the three methods accurately distinguished positive from negative samples, the ILA method yielded many weakly positive results that were not confirmed by either the ELISA or SPCEI method. Thus, the indirect agglutination tests may give nonspecific responses at lower T-IgG concentrations.

Hormone assays that use a solid-phase, automated, chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CEIA) with an alkaline phosphatase–tagged hormone or antibody as a reporter are performed on serum or EDTA plasma in our laboratory. CEIA cortisol results appeared to increase in the presence of excess EDTA. We investigated the effect of the addition of different amounts of EDTA on cortisol concentrations in pooled canine serum samples. The recommended EDTA plasma concentration of 4.1 mmol/L (1.8 mg/mL) did not alter cortisol concentrations when added to serum pools; however, the addition of ≥5.1 mmol/L (2.25 mg/mL) of EDTA increased apparent concentrations of cortisol. Supplementation of serum samples with MgCl2 to 5 mmol/L reversed the effect of EDTA up to a concentration of ~8.1 mmol/L (3.6 mg/mL). Our findings show that CEIA cortisol results on EDTA plasma can be artificially increased if the EDTA concentration exceeds 5.1 mmol/L.

The sera of 142 Helicobacter pylori-positive and 32H. pylori-negative patients were assessed by a desktop test (QuickVue), an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (HM-CAP), and a solid-phase, two-step chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (Immulite). These tests yielded sensitivities of 97, 97, and 91% and specificities of 97, 94, and 100%, respectively. In conclusion, the desktop test and the ELISA are more sensitive than the chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (P < 0.05). The chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay has the advantage that it is fully automated.
