Immunoassays(IA) : DisadvantageImmunoassays(IA) : Disadvantage

1. 구조가 유사한 compounds (e.g., prodrugs and drug metabolites) 의 교차 -반응에 의한 간섭

1) 간 기능이상 또는 신장기능장애환자에서 더욱 심화 ⇒ 광범위한 수준의 대사물 누적이 발생

2. Human anti-animal antibody 에 의한 간섭효과

1) 치료나 영상촬영을 위한 mouse monoclonal antibody 사용 증가에 따른 human anti-mouse

anti body (HAMA)에 의해 잘 인지되지 않음 2) 특히 two-site mouse monoclonal antibody-based 측정법에서 양성과 음성 간섭을 모두 유발

3. 감도 범위가 한정적이다 .

1) 어린아이 간이식 수술 후 tacrolimus 의 경우 IA 로 측정할 때 낮은 감도로 인해 측정이 안 될 수도 있음 .

Prospect of Future

• Tests often evolve through this spectrum

– New esoteric testing will grow substantially with the maturation of

genomics and proteomics

– What’s esoteric today may be POCT tomorrow with advances in

technology, new therapeutic options, and new care models
