[Comparative study of digoxin determination by E.L.I.S.A. and radioimmunoassay techniques (author's transl)]. 1979

D Raichvarg, and C Cazalet, and J M Scherrmann, and H Caillens

This study is based on a double blind interlaboratory comparison between radioimmunoassay and E.L.I.S.A. digoxin determination. The correlation between digoxin values found with these two methods is good (r = 0.96 for therapeutic and toxic ranges 1,0 ng/ml - 5,5 ng/ml). The results indicate good repeatability, reproducibility and precision. The determination by E.L.I.S.A. can be performed with sera or plasma. The presence of haemolysis makes no appreciable difference in results. No variation is observed when different kits are used from an identical lot. However digoxin gives an important cross reactivity with digitoxin in Enzymeimmunoassay. Therefore it is necessary to know exactly the digitalis glycoside before the determination in order to avoid significant error.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D004077 Digoxin A cardiotonic glycoside obtained mainly from Digitalis lanata; it consists of three sugars and the aglycone DIGOXIGENIN. Digoxin has positive inotropic and negative chronotropic activity. It is used to control ventricular rate in ATRIAL FIBRILLATION and in the management of congestive heart failure with atrial fibrillation. Its use in congestive heart failure and sinus rhythm is less certain. The margin between toxic and therapeutic doses is small.

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.
