A sensitive, rapid and novel measurement method for cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21-) in human serum by magnetic particle-based time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TRFIA) is described. Built on a sandwich-type immunoassay format, analytes in samples were captured by one monoclonal antibody coating onto the surface of magnetic beads and “sandwiched-by another monoclonal antibody labeled with europium chelates. The coefficient variations of the method were lower than 7?%, and the recoveries were in the range of 90-10?% for serum samples. The lower limit of quantitation of the present method for CYFRA 21- was 0.78?ng/ml. The correlation coefficient of CYFRA 21- values obtained by our novel TRFIA and CLIA was 0.980. The present novel TRFIA demonstrated high sensitivity, wider effective detection range and excellent reproducibility for determination of CYFRA 21- can be useful for early screening and prognosis evaluation of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
