Screening for washing condition in solid-phase R-phycoerythrin fluorescence immunoassay
Abstract:Objective To screen for the optimal washing buffer inR-phycoerythrin fluorescence immunoassay.Methods Change the ionic intensity and pH value of the washing buffer. Screen the washing buffer by comparing the checkout ratio of positive samples and the pseudo-positive ratio of negative samples.Results Increasing ionic intensity can be helpful to decrease pseudopositive phenomenon in negative samples and to increase sensitivity when concentration is below 120 mmol/L. Pseudopositive ratio can be decreased to zero. when concentration is near to 120 mmol/L and the positive checkout ratio can be up to 93.3%. But much higher concentrations may restrict the sensitivity to be increased. A weak basic washing condition is appropriate.Conclusion 120 mmol/L PBS (pH7.5) is suitable for R-phycoerythrin fluorescence immunoassay both in the diagnosis specificity and in the sensitivity.
