Immuno” refers to an immune response that causes the body to generate
antibodies Assay” refers to a test..• Immunoassays are chemical tests used to detect or quantify a
specific substance, the analyte, in a blood or body fluid sample, using an immunological reaction. Immunoassays are highly sensitive and specific. Their high specificity results from the use of antibodies and purified antigens as reagents.
Immunoassays measure the formation of antibody-antigen complexes and detect them via an indicator reaction. High sensitivity is achieved by using an indicator system (e.g., enzyme label) that results in amplification of the measured product.
Immunoassays may be qualitative (positive or negative) or quantitative (amount measured).

The purpose of an immunoassay is to measure (or, in a
qualitative assay, to detect) an analyte. Immunoassay is the method of choice for measuring analytes normally present at very low concentrations that cannot be determined accurately by other less expensive tests Common uses include measurement of drugs, hormones, specific proteins, tumor markers, and markers of cardiac injury

ANTIBODIES and ANTIGENS:
• An antibody is a protein (immunoglobulin) produced by B-lymphocytes (immune cells) in response to stimulation by an antigen.
An antigen is a substance with the ability to induce an immunological response.

LABELS IN IMMUNOASSAYSImmunoassays require the use of labeled
materials in order to measure the amount of antigen or antibody present. A label is a molecule that will react as part of the assay, and in doing so produce a signal that can be measured in the solution. Examples of a label include a radioactive compound, or an enzyme that causes a change of color in a solution or substance that produce light .

Labels may be applied to
either the antibody
..or the antigen.

Competitive Assays:• Unlabeled analyte (antigen) in the test sample is measured
by its ability to compete with the labeled antigen in the immunoassay.
• In a competitive immunoassay, less label measured in the assay means more of the unlabeled (test sample) antigen is present.
![Page 11: Radio Immune Eassay](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58e5b0df1a28ab85798b4ddf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
•Noncompetitive (sandwhich) immunoassays generally provide the highest level of assay sensitivity and specificity. This format is referred to as a “sandwich” assay because the analyte is bound (sandwiched) between two highly specific antibody reagents. •The reaction mixture typically includes an excess of labeled antibody, so that all drug/metabolite is bound. The amount of antibody-antigen complex is then measured to determine the amount of drug present in the sample. The measurement of labeled analyte, usually antibody, is directly proportional to the amount of antigen present in the sample.

Heterogeneous and
Homogeneous immunoassays Methods
HETEROGENEOUS IMMUNOASSAYS : Called separation assay Require multiple steps Unbound analyte is separated or washed
away, and the remaining labelled, bound analyte is measured.
• Those that do not require separation are referred to as HOMOGENEOUS IMMUNOASSAYS.
• Homogeneous methods have generally been applied to the measurement of small analytes such as Ab used and therapeutic drugs

There are several different methods
used in immunoassay tests:
Radioimmunoassay (RIA) Enzyme Immunoassay (ELISA) Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (FPIA)

Radioimmunoassay (RIAs) utilize a radioactive label (usually 125I, 3H or 14C), which emits radiation that can be measured with a beta or gamma counter.BUT radioactive materials are not administered to the individual but are used as reagents.

A mixture is prepared of
radioactive antigen
antibodies against that antigen.
Known amounts of unlabeled ("cold") antigen are added to samples of the mixture. These compete for the binding sites of the antibodies.

At increasing concentrations of unlabeled antigen,
an increasing amount of radioactive antigen is displaced from the antibody molecules.
The antibody-bound antigen is separated from the free antigen in the supernatant fluid, and
The radioactivity of each is measured.

Crucial step is separation of unbound antigens
Antibodies bind to microtitre well surface [Solid phase RIA]
Antigens bound to the fixed antibodies remain stuck to the inner surface
Decanting & washing the well removes unbound antigens

ADVANTAGES Radioimmunoassay is widely-used
because of its great sensitivity.
Using antibodies of high affinity, it is possible to detect a few pictograms (10−12 g) of antigen in the tube.
The greater the specificity of the antiserum, the greater the specificity of the assay

RIA has become a major tool in the clinical
laboratory where it is used to assay . plasma levels of:
most of our hormones; digitoxin or digoxin in patients receiving
these drugs; certain abused drugs.
Presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in donated blood.
Anti-DNA antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

DRAWBACKS
The main drawbacks to radioimmunoassay are the expense and hazards if preparing and handling the radioactive antigen.
Both 125I or 131I emit gamma radiation that requires special counting equipment;
The body concentrates iodine atoms — radioactive or not — in the thyroid gland where they are incorporated in thyroxine (T4).
