    A new fluorescence polarization immunoassay for serum cortisol offers a sensitive, reliable, and rapid method for routine testing. This assay simplifies cortisol measurement without ligand separation, correlating well with radioimmunoassay.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Immunoassay Development
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Serum cortisol levels are critical indicators for diagnosing adrenal function disorders.
    • Existing methods for cortisol measurement can be complex or time-consuming.
    • There is a need for rapid, sensitive, and reliable diagnostic assays.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) for serum cortisol determination.
    • To establish an assay that is sensitive, reliable, specific, and suitable for routine clinical use.
    • To create a rapid assay that eliminates the need for antibody-bound and free ligand separation.

    Main Methods:

    • A fluorescence polarization immunoassay was established using cortisol 21-amine coupled with fluorescein isothiocyanate.

  • The assay was optimized for sensitivity, specificity, and reliability.
  • Assay performance was evaluated by determining the minimal detectable cortisol amount and the measurable range.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed fluorescence polarization immunoassay demonstrated high sensitivity, with a minimal detectable cortisol level of 1.5 ng/tube.
    • The assay provided a reliable and specific measurement of serum cortisol across a broad range (1.5 to 100 µg/dL).
    • A strong correlation was observed between the results from the proposed FPIA and established radioimmunoassay (RIA) methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed fluorescence polarization immunoassay is a sensitive, reliable, specific, and simple method for routine serum cortisol determination.
    • The assay's rapidity and lack of separation steps make it advantageous for clinical laboratories.
    • This FPIA method serves as a viable alternative to radioimmunoassay for serum cortisol analysis.
