BACKGROUND Serum S-100B has clinical value in monitoring malignant melanoma and in monitoring and predicting outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injury. METHODS Analytical performance characteristic and split-sample method comparison studies for three commercial S-100B immunoassays (CanAg® S100, Sangtec® 100, YK150 Human S-100 β) were performed. Reference intervals (97.5th percentile) for each assay were established by non-parametric analysis of results from healthy volunteers. RESULTS Linearity results were slope=1.014, intercept=65.1, r(2)=0.999 for the Sangtec assay; slope=1.038, intercept=31.1, r(2)=0.999 for the CanAg assay; slope=1.123, intercept=-105.4, r(2)=0.997 for the YK150 assay. Within-run CVs were ≤5.7, ≤6.3 and ≤10.8 for the Sangtec, CanAg and YK150 ELISAs, respectively. Between-run CVs were ≤11.3, ≤5.9 and ≤9.5, respectively. Upper reference interval limits of 141, 96 and 735 ng/l S-100B were established for the Sangtec, CanAg and YK150 ELISAs, respectively. Deming regression generated the following: CanAg vs. Sangtec, slope=0.339, intercept=24.1, r(2)=0.932; YK150 vs. Sangtec, slope=0.266, intercept=-140.0, r(2)=0.690; YK150 vs. CanAg, slope=1.376, intercept=-13.1, r(2)=0.860. CONCLUSIONS The configurations, procedures and performance characteristics of the Sangtec and CanAg S-100B ELISAs are comparable and better than those of the YK150 assay. Poor agreement and large biases prevent interchangeable use of results.

D008545	Melanoma	A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.

D009418	S100 Proteins	A family of highly acidic calcium-binding proteins found in large concentration in the brain and believed to be glial in origin. They are also found in other organs in the body. They have in common the EF-hand motif (EF HAND MOTIFS) found on a number of calcium binding proteins. The name of this family derives from the property of being soluble in a 100% saturated ammonium sulfate solution.

D001930	Brain Injuries	Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.

D004797	Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay	An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D015203	Reproducibility of Results	The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
