Zusammenfassung:An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the measurement of insulin in human serum has been developed. The test is based on the sandwich technique with two monoclonal antibodies directed against two different epitopes of insulin using coated plastic tubes as the solid phase and horse radish peroxidase as the label. The immunoreactions are completed in one step within 2 h. The horse radish peroxidase activity bound to the tube wall is measured photometrically after an additional 1-h incubation with the substrate. The standards used cover the range from 0 to 260 mU insulin/L. Employing the Enzymun-Test ® System ES 22 modular batch analyzer, the detection limit was found to be 3.7 mU insulin/L. Coefficients of variation (CV's) between 1.4–7.8% for intraassay precision and 5.6–10% for interassay precision were obtained over the concentration range of 17–107 mU Insulin/L. The correlation between the procedure described here ( y) and a commercially available double antibody radioimmunoassay ( x) is expressed by the following equation: y = 1.07 x + 1.14 mU insulin/L.
