Principle of TSH ELISA test.
solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
TSH ELISA Solid phase immobilization.
Mouse monoclonal Anti-TSH antibody
Content of TSH ELISA antibody-enzyme conjugated solution.
Goat anti-TSH antibody
Enzyme used in ELISA.
Horseradish peroxidase
TMB reagent produces what color?
Blue color development
The conc of TSH is directly proportional to what
Color intensity
How much detector reagent is used in TSH ELISA?
150 uL
How much serum sample is used in TSH ELISA?
10 uL
How many sample is diffused in the cartridge in TSH ELISA?
75 uL
Incubation period of TSH ELISA.
12 min at RT
Regulatory influences of thyroid gland.
growth, differentiation, cellular metabolism, and general hormonal balance, as well as on the maintenance of metabolic activity and development of the skeletal and organ system
T3 and T4 is bound to what?
Thyroxine binding globulin
The concentration is lesser but the metabolic potency is much greater.
Triiodothyronine (t3)
T3 measurement has uncovered a variant of
Hyperthyroidism in thyrotoxic patients with elevated t3 but normal t4
T3 measurement is useful in monitoring
patients under treatment for hyperthyroidism and those who have discontinued anti-thyroid drug therapy.
What is valuable in distinguishing between euthyroid and hyperthyroid subjects?
Triiodothyronine
In women, when are t3 levels elevated?
Pregnancy, estrogen treatment, and contraceptive hormone therapy
What is the second antibody in T3 ELISA?
Goat anti-mouse IgG
What is added in the microtiter wells in T3 ELISA?
amount of patient serum, a certain amount of mouse monoclonal anti-T3 antibody and a constant amount of T3 conjugated with horseradish peroxidase
Where is mouse anti t3 antibody bound in the microtiter wells?
Antibody
Who competes for the limited binding sites of the anti-T3 antibody?
T3 & conjugated T3
The —— formed is proportional to the amount of —— and is inversely related to the amount of —— in the sample
Intensity of the color, enzyme present, unlabeled T3
How much detector reagent is used in t3 ELISA?
300 uL
How many sample is used in t3 ELISA?
75uL
How long should you incubate the serum diluent mixture of t3?
8 minutes at RT
What is the temperature of the analyzer during the incubation of t3 cartridge?
25 C
How much diluent is used in the measurement of t4?
200 uL
Expected values of t4.
60-120 mmoL/L
Expected values of T3.
1.24-3.09 mmol/L or 0.8 — 2.01 ng/mL
Where is T4 stored?
Thyroid gland
What released T4 in the bloodstream?
Proteolytic cleavage of follicular thyroglobulin
Greater than 99% of T4 is reversibly bound to three plasma proteins in blood:
thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) binds 70%; thyroxine binding pre-albumin (TBPA) binds 20%; and albumin binds 10%
How much t4 is free and unbound in the blood at any one time?
0.03%
Clinical significance of increased T4
hyperthyroidism due to Grave’s disease and Plummer’s disease and in acute and subacute thyroiditis.
Low levels of t4 is seen in
congenital hypothyroidism, myxedema, chronic thyroiditis (Hashimoto’s disease), and with some genetic abnormalities.
In T4, what is coated in microtiter well?
Anti-T4 antibody
