Human IGF-I ELISA試劑盒 Mediagnost 背景介紹：

The ELISA E20 is intended to be used for the measurement of human IGF-I in serum and plasma samples. In combination with growth retardation and other clinical symptoms the results of this test system can be used as supplementary data to assess disturbances of the growth hormone axis. 1 INTRODUCTION Insulin-like growth factors (IGF) I and II play a pivotal role in regulating the proliferation, differentiation and specific functions of many cell types (1-3). IGF-I is identical with Somatomedin C (Sm-C) (4) and has a molecular weight of 7649 Dalton (5). Its major regulators are growth hormone (GH) and nutrition (6), although its production in specific tissues is affected by a multitude of tropic hormones and other peptide growth factors. In contrast to many other peptide hormones, IGFs are avidly bound to specific binding proteins (IGFBP). The seven classes of IGFBPs which are known at present (7,8,22) either bind IGF-I and IGF-II with similar affinities or show a preference for IGF-II (9,10). A major problem of IGF-I measurement results from the interference of IGFBPs in the assay. Direct determinations in untreated serum samples (11) give false values because of the extremely slow dissociation of the IGF-I/IGFBP-3 complexes during the assay incubation. Depending on the ratio IGF-I to IGFBP the following errors may occur (see also Figure 1): REF: E20

These techniques, however, are either inconvenient or time-consuming or give incomplete and notreproducible recoveries. The most widely used method is the acid-ethanol extraction (13,14) with a recovery of only 70-80 % of IGFBP-bound IGF-I as a result of co-precipitation. The absolute results of such an extraction are therefore false low (15). The extraction removes the IGFBPs only insufficiently and leads to reduction in sensitivity of the assay due to predilution of the samples by the extraction procedure. Furthermore, the remaining IGFBP may still interfere in the assay. In addition, the acid-ethanol extraction is ineffective in specimens other than serum or plasma (e.g. cell culture media), in which determination of IGF-I is already difficult enough due to the fact that IGFBPs are frequently present at large excess. To avoid these difficulties, an uncomplicated assay was developed, in which special sample preparation is not required before measurement. Clinical Significance There are apart from GH, a number of variables that influence serum IGF-I. Decreased levels are found in states of malnutrition/ malabsorption, hypothyroidism, liver disease, untreated diabetes mellitus, chronic inflammatory disease (1,6), malignant disease or polytrauma. High levels, on the other hand, are likely to be present in precocious puberty or obesity. Crucially important to the correct interpretation of IGF-I measurement is the relationship between age and IGF-I levels (see Table 2 and Fig.: 4-6). Due to its GH-dependence, determination of serum IGF-I was shown to be a useful tool in diagnosis of growth disorders, especially with regard to GH deficiency (GHD) or acromegaly (6,16-19,23,24). The major advantage of IGF–I determination compared to GH determination is its stable circadian concentration; therefore a single measurement is sufficient. Hence IGFI determination should be the first in a series of laboratory test. Clearly normal levels would then rule out disturbances of the GH-IGF-I-axis. Low levels, i.e. close to or below the agerelated 5th percentile would indicate the necessity of further diagnostic efforts. Subnormal levels of IGF-I would be evidence for reduced GH secretion, if other causes of low serum IGF-I (e.g. malnutrition or impaired liver function) can be ruled out. For differentiation of healthy short children without GH deficiency and children with "classical" GH deficiency, the 0.1st percentile proved to be an appropriate cut-off point, especially after the age of eight. However, IGF-I levels of short children not suffering from GHD may nevertheless lay between the 0.1st and 5th percentile (19).
