An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for measuring type I collagen degradation products in urine < 3 h was evaluated. The measuring range was 0.5-10.5 mg/L with a detection limit of 0.2 mg/L. Within-run and total CVs were 5.3% and 6.6%, respectively. Analytical recovery averaged 100%. The mean (+/- SD) concentrations in urine samples from a healthy premenopausal population (n = 102) were 250 +/- 110 mg/mol creatinine (Cr). A group of healthy postmenopausal women (n = 410) gave a mean value of 416 +/- 189 mg/mol Cr. Values obtained in the ELISA correlated well (r = 0.83) to HPLC values for the established bone resorption marker deoxypyridinoline (n = 214), slightly better than the correlation to hydroxyproline measurements (r = 0.78, n = 421). We conclude that the assay described here presents a useful tool for further elucidating the importance of type I collagen degradation products in urine.

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.
