Abstract
Background
In the diagnosis of allergic diseases, in vitro serum IgE level tests were conventionally used. In recent years, microsphere-based flow cytometric assays for IgE have gained more attention. The present study aimed to establish a microsphere-based flow cytometric assay for quantitative detection of tIgE.
Methods
The assay was established after selection of microsphere, antibody pair, detection mode, and optimization of coating ratio. In order to quantitate tIgE, the calibration curve was established. The detection performance of this new tIgE flow cytometric assay was also confirmed. In addition, the correlations between this assay with the ImmunoCAP assay or the immunoturbidimetry assay were evaluated.
Results
This new tIgE flow cytometric assay has low CVs of repeatability (7.62 % and 6.98 %) and intermediate precision (7.50 % and 8.41 %). The detection range was 2 ∼ 6000 IU/mL. The range of linearity was from 2 ∼ 3363 IU/L (r = 0.9932). The correlation coefficient (r) for the correlation analysis between the results of the newly developed tIgE flow cytometric assay and ImmunoCAP assay or immunoturbidimetry assay was 0.9345 and 0.9348, respectively.
Conclusion
A tIgE flow cytometric assay was successfully established. It could be used in clinical laboratories and quantitate lots of allergen-sIgE detected by flow cytometric assay.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
