Abstract：
:In this clinically useful enzyme immunoassay of digoxin in serum, we mix sample, beta-galactosidase-labeled digoxin, and anti-digoxin Fab fragments for 30 min at room temperature, then use Sepharose-bound second antibody for phase separation, and measure the unbound enzyme activity directly in the supernate of the equilibrium reaction mixture. The immunoassay buffer--phosphate-buffered isotonic saline with added rabbit globulin (4 g/L), hydrolyzed gelatin (2 g/L), Brij 96 detergent (5 g/L), glycerol (0.25 mol/L), and N-acetyl-8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (2 mmol/L)--minimizes serum matrix effects for convenient measuring of unbound enzyme--digoxin conjugate. The immunoassay developed with Fab fragments has better displacement characteristics than that with intact antibody. Performance of the assay compares favorably with that of other manual digoxin immunoassays; in comparison studies with EMIT involving 110 clinical specimens, the coefficient of correlation was 0.97.

The complex with alpha1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) is the major form in serum, and the proportion of PSA-ACT is higher in prostate cancer (PCa) than in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). PSA also forms a complex w...
