A third generation immunoassay for tumor necrosis factor alpha

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) is a polypeptide cytokine produced primarily by monocytes and macrophages. It is involved in a wide variety of immune reactions. Measurement of TNF alpha originally depended upon bioassays that are of varying reliability and reproducibility. Early immunoassays...

520 |a Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) is a polypeptide cytokine produced primarily by monocytes and macrophages. It is involved in a wide variety of immune reactions. Measurement of TNF alpha originally depended upon bioassays that are of varying reliability and reproducibility. Early immunoassays for TNF alpha required handling of radioisotopes and costly disposal of radioactive waste. Subsequent use of enzymes as reporter molecules in enzyme immunoassay (EIA) has eliminated the burden of radioisotope handling and its associated costs. However, EIA has presented new challenges. Use of thimerosal as a preservative in EIAs may require high disposal costs due to its mercury content. In addition, many EIAs lack the sensitivity achievable in radioimmunoassay (RIA). We have developed a simple microplate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of TNF alpha in serum, plasma and culture supernatants. Our high affinity capture antibody has enabled us to achieve a sensitivity of 1.5 pg/mL. The assay is calibrated to the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) first international standard for TNF alpha (87/650) and exhibits excellent precision and reproducibility. Tetramethylbenzidine is used to generate the colored end product of the reaction, and thimerosal has been removed from all components
