Comparison of gentamicin assays. 1980

P R Oeltgen, and S R Hamann, and R A Blouin

The reliability of the newly developed enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique (EMIT) for gentamicin with a radioimmunoassay (RIA) technique that utilizes a double antibody technique was compared. A split sample comparison was performed on 86 serum gentamicin levels from 35 patients. The Gilford System 4 and the Abbott Auto Log Gamma Counter were employed for the EMIT and RIA assays, respectively. Comparison of the two methods revealed good correlation (r = 0.954), slope (0.952), and an intercept of 0.017 over the range of the standard curve (1--16 microgram/ml). Within-run and between-run precision were comparable for both systems. Both assays have found widespread application for routine therapeutic monitoring of gentamicin. However, the EMIT gentamicin assay offers significant advantages in speed and simplicity while maintaining comparable accuracy and precision to that of the established RIA procedures.

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
D005839 Gentamicins A complex of closely related aminoglycosides obtained from MICROMONOSPORA purpurea and related species. They are broad-spectrum antibiotics, but may cause ear and kidney damage. They act to inhibit PROTEIN BIOSYNTHESIS.
