Article Title: | Comparison of Roche RIA, Roche EIA, Hybritech EIA, and Abbott EIA methods for measuring carcinoembryonic antigen |
Abstract: | Using 600 clinical specimens, we compared the concordance of four methods for carcinoembryonic antigen: the Roche RIA (I); the Roche EIA (II); Hybritech EIA (III); and Abbott EIA (IV). EDTA-treated plasma was used for Methods I and II and serum for Methods III and IV. However, no significant difference was found between results for serum and plasma in Method II. The normal reference interval (in μg/L) was I (222 specimens), 1.94 ± 1.54; II (57 specimens), 0.8 ± 0.5; III (100 specimens), 2.94 ± 2.47; and IV (614 specimens), <5.0. The precision of all four methods was acceptable. Concordance among all of the methods exceeded 90%. |
