Abstract:

Objective To improve the analytical sensitivity and linear range of latex immunological reagent,and to compare the sensitivities and linear ranges of dual and single particle size latex immunoturbidimetry in the determination of D-dimer(DD). Methods Carboxylic latex particles with diameters of 49 and 150 nm were prepared,and a covalent coupling method was used to link DD monoclonal antibody to the particles. The 2 sensitized latex particles were mixed at various proportions,and the sensitivity and linear range were determined,which were compared with those of imported reagents. Results If 4 parts of 49 nm sensitized latex particles were mixed with 1 part of 150 nm sensitized latex particles,the optimal linearity of calibration curve was obtained,with the sensitivity of 0.03 and linear range of 61.88 μg/mL,and it correlated well with imported reagents. Conclusions Dual particle size latex immunoturbidimetry is better than traditional DD latex diagnostic assay,and is of potential for clinical application.
