An evaluation of the Ramco kit for serum ferritin assay. 1979

W S Dempster, and G J Knight, and P Jacobs

The determination of serum ferritin levels may be of diagnostic importance in medicine. To establish whether values obtained using a commercially available kit (Ramco) were adequate for this purpose, a comparison was undertaken using a two-site immunoradiometric assay that had been developed and standardized in our laboratories. Over the range 6 micrograms/l to greater than 2 000 micrograms/l there was a correlation coefficient between the two methods of 0,8284 (P less than 0.001). It is concluded that the Ramco kit is suitable for use in clinical practice.

D005293	Ferritins	Iron-containing proteins that are widely distributed in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Their major function is to store IRON in a nontoxic bioavailable form. Each ferritin molecule consists of ferric iron in a hollow protein shell (APOFERRITINS) made of 24 subunits of various sequences depending on the species and tissue types.
