    This study introduces a novel immunoassay for measuring thyroxine (T4) in serum. The new method offers high sensitivity and accuracy comparable to existing radioimmunoassays, making it a valuable tool for clinical diagnostics.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Immunology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Thyroxine (T4) is a crucial thyroid hormone regulating metabolism.
    • Accurate T4 measurement in serum is essential for diagnosing thyroid disorders.
    • Existing methods like radioimmunoassays have limitations, necessitating development of alternative assays.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new, sensitive immunoassay for serum thyroxine.
    • To evaluate the performance and reliability of this novel assay.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a manual immunoassay utilizing antibody-coated latex particles and horseradish peroxidase.
    • Chromogen: o-phenylenediamine.
    • Assay validation through correlation studies with established radioimmunoassay and automated enzyme immunoassay.

    Main Results:

    • Assay performance comparable to high-sensitivity thyroxine radioimmunoassays.
    • Excellent correlation with radioimmunoassay (r=0.99) and automated enzyme immunoassay (r=0.97).
    • Low coefficients of variation (<7.2%) across the 20–240 µg/L range, with a detection limit <94 pg/tube at 20 µg/L.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed immunoassay provides a sensitive and accurate method for serum thyroxine determination.
    • The assay demonstrates robustness, with minimal interference from protein levels and serum preservatives.
    • This assay is a viable alternative for routine clinical thyroxine measurements.
