Methodological Evaluation of Fully Automated Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay for Determination of Serum Thyrotropin Receptor Antibody

Objective To evaluate an automatic immunological analyzer for the determination of serum thyrotropin receptor antibody(TRAb) by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay(ECLIA) technique.Methods The TRAb concentrations were simultaneously analyzed by ECLIA in 62 patients with Graves’ disease(GD),65 with thyroid diseases without diagnosis of GD and 41 healthy controls.The methodology of ECLIA assay,including precision,recovery,sensitivity,specificity and its correlation to ELISA assay,was fully evaluated.Results The intra-and inter-precision,recovery of ECLIA assay were 0.78%~3.30%,1.25%~5.42% and 96.8%~101.5%,respectively.The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for GD were 95.1% and 96.2%,separately.There is a good correlation between ECLIA and ELISA for detection of the serum TRAb(r=0.9815,P<0.01).Conclusion The ECLIA assay is a new immunological technique with advantage of high precision and accuracy for the determination of TRAb concentration.The method also shows good specificity,sensitivity in GD diagnosis.Furthermore,the ECLIA assay exhibits a convenient,fast and suitable for automation analysis.The method can be applied for clinical application.
