    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Immunology
    • Biochemical Assays

    Background:

    • Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a tumor marker.
    • Accurate measurement of CEA levels is crucial for cancer diagnosis and monitoring.
    • Existing methods for CEA measurement may be time-consuming or complex.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a simple and rapid solid-phase radioimmunoassay for CEA measurement.
    • To evaluate the sensitivity and robustness of the new assay.
    • To compare the results with an established CEA detection method.

    Main Methods:

    • Solid-phase radioimmunoassay using antibody-coated tubes.
    • Perchloric acid (PCA) extraction of serum or plasma samples.
    • Quantification using radio-labeled anti-CEA antibody.

    Main Results:

    • The assay is completed within one day.
    • Sensitivity of 0.5 ng CEA/ml plasma was achieved.
    • The assay demonstrated tolerance to variations in pH and ionic strength.
    • A fair correlation was observed with the zirconium phosphate gel method.

    Conclusions:

    • A simple, rapid, and sensitive solid-phase radioimmunoassay for CEA has been developed.
    • This method provides a reliable alternative for CEA level determination in clinical settings.
    • The assay's robustness and speed make it suitable for routine use.
