Performance characteristics of an automated assay for the quantitation of CYFRA 21-1 in human serum
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectivesA fragment of cytokeratin 19, CYFRA 21-1, has been reported to be a sensitive tumor marker for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We describe analytical performance characteristics of a novel CYFRA 21-1 assay and hypothesize that CYFRA 21-1 complements the clinical sensitivity of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCa).Design and methodsPerformance characteristics of a CYFRA 21-1 immunochemiluminescent assay included analytical sensitivity, imprecision, linearity, analyte stability, and reference interval determination. Ninety-two pretreatment NSCLC serum samples were tested for CYFRA 21-1, CEA, and SCCa. Sensitivity was determined for each marker individually and in combination, with regard to tumor stage and histology.ResultsThe analytical sensitivity was 0.01 ng/mL. Total imprecision ranged from 4.0 to 6.3% at 4.9 to 28.4 ng/mL, respectively. The assay was linear from 0.9 to 71.4 ng/mL (slope = 0.995, intercept = − 0.60, r2 = 0.999). CYFRA 21-1 was stable for 48 h at ambient temperature and 14 days at 4 °C. The 97.5th percentile of a reference population was 1.9 ng/mL. Across disease stage, the sensitivities of CYFRA 21-1, CEA, and SCCa were 17–81%, 30–52%, and 24–39%, respectively. CYFRA 21-1 combined with CEA or SCCa increased sensitivity above that of any single marker.ConclusionsAn immunochemiluminescent assay for CYFRA 21-1 had favorable performance characteristics. CYFRA 21-1 was complementary to CEA and SCCa and increased clinical sensitivity in patients with NSCLC.
