5.3 Classification of Indicator Labeled Immunoassays Flashcards
Principle of this is labeled and unlabeled analytes can compete for the same site on the antibody
a. Competitive
b. Noncompetitive
a
In competitive immunoassay, the measured signal is inversely correlated to the concentrations of analyte in the sample
T or F
T
In competitive, the higher the signal, the lower the antigen concentration
T or F
T
NOTE: Label produces the signal in competitive
For Competitive, this includes Radioimmunoassay
T or F
T
A highly specific and sensitive assay that involves the use of radioisotopes as it label or marker
Radioimmunoassay
Radioimmunoassay, What is the means to measure the analyte?
Scintillation counter (Gamma COunter)
This employs enzymes as the label for competitive immunoassay
EMIT (Enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique)
EMIT usually used Heterogeneous format
T or F
F
Homogeneous format
The application of EMIT is the detection of small molecules such as Hormone, especially _____
Drugs (Board exam)
Application for this is to detect small molecules such as Drugs
EMIT
Speciment for drug testing using EMIT?
Urine
Advantage of EMIT?
No washing
The higher signal for EMIT, The lower amount for drugs
T or F
T
A non classical 2 stage competitive immunoassay that can be used to detect illegal and therapeutic drugs
FPIA (Fluorescence polarization immunoassay
