H. Ohkuma et al., Simultaneous assay of pepsinogen I and pepsinogen II in serum by bioluminescent enzyme immunoassay using two kinds of Luciola lateralis luciferase, ANALYT CHIM, 395(3), 1999, pp. 265-272
We developed a simultaneous bioluminescent enzyme immunoassay of serum peps
inogen I (PG I) and pepsinogen II (PG II) in which two kinds of biotinylate
d luciferase (Luciola lateralis) as labeled enzyme producing yellow-green l
ight (lambda(max)=559 nm) and red light (lambda(max)=607 nm) were used. In
the proposed method, PG I and PG II in serum were simultaneously captured i
n a sandwich type immunereaction between anti-PG I and anti-PG II monoclona
l antibody-coated magnetic particles, and streptavidin biotinylated lucifer
ase biotinylated anti-PC I and anti-PG II monoclonal antibodies tripler, re
spectively. After bound/free (B/F)separation by washing, bound enzyme activ
ities of luciferase were measured twice as the bioluminescent intensity in
the presence of luciferin, ATP, Mg2+ and molecular oxygen. The value of PG
I was obtained by calculation based on the bioluminescent intensity at lamb
da(max)=607 nm. The value of PG II (lambda(max)=559 nm) was obtained by the
method using a band pass filter. The calibration range of PG I was from 2
to 200 ng ml(-1) and that of PG II was from 1 to 100 ng ml(-1). The coeffic
ients of variation for PG I and PG II determination were from 3.4% to 10.2%
and from 4.0% to 8.6%, respectively. The correlation of PG I values in ser
um between the proposed method and a PG I specific bioluminescent immunoass
ay (single assay), and PG II values in serum between the proposed method an
d a PG II specific bioluminescent immunoassay were satisfactory. The regres
sions were y(proposed method)=0.9952x(single assay for PY I)+0.841, r=0.983
7 and y(proposed method)=1.0545x(single assay for PY II)+1.4693, r=0.9738,
respectively. The proposed method is concise, accurate and rapid for the de
termination of PG I and pc II in serum, and is useful for clinical applicat
ion. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
