Measurement of holotranscobalamin (holoTC) may be more diagnostically accurate for detecting B12 deficiency that requires therapy. We developed an automated assay for holoTC that can be used on the Abbott AxSYM immunoassay analyzer.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Methods: AxSYM Active B12 is a 2-step sandwich microparticle enzyme immunoassay. In step 1, a holoTC-specific antibody immobilized onto latex microparticles captures holoTC in samples of serum or plasma. In step 2, the captured holoTC is detected with a conjugate of alkaline phosphatase and antiTC antibody.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: Neither apoTC nor haptocorrin exhibited detectable cross-reactivity. The detection limit was \u22640.1 pmol\/L. Within-run and total imprecision (CV ranges) were 3.4%\u20135.1% and 6.3%\u20138.5%, respectively. Assay CVs were &amp;lt;20% from at least 3 pmol\/L to 107 pmol\/L. With diluted serum samples, measured concentrations were 104%\u2013114% of the expected values in the working range of the assay. No interference from bilirubin, hemoglobin, triglycerides, erythrocytes, rheumatoid factor, or total protein was detected at expected (abnormal) concentrations. A comparison of the AxSYM Active B12 assay with a commercial RIA for holoTC yielded the regression equation: AxSYM = 0.98RIA + 4.7 pmol\/L (Sy x, 11.4 pmol\/L; n = 204). Assay throughput was 45 tests\/h. A 95% reference interval of 19\u2013134 pmol\/L holoTC was established with samples from 292 healthy individuals.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusions: The AxSYM Active B12 assay allows rapid, precise, sensitive, specific, and automated measurement of human holoTC in serum and plasma.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1373\/clinchem.2007.096784","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,5]],"date-time":"2008-01-05T01:46:03Z","timestamp":1199497563000},"page":"567-573","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":77,"title":["Active B12: A Rapid, Automated Assay for Holotranscobalamin on the Abbott AxSYM Analyzer"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Jeff","family":"Brady","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Axis-Shield Diagnostics, Ltd., Dundee, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lesley","family":"Wilson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Axis-Shield Diagnostics, Ltd., Dundee, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lynda","family":"McGregor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Axis-Shield Diagnostics, Ltd., Dundee, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edward","family":"Valente","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Axis-Shield Diagnostics, Ltd., Dundee, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lars","family":"Orning","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Axis-Shield POC, Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020022800124860200_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"533","DOI":"10.1016\/S0950-3536(05)80220-3","volume":"8","year":"1995","journal-title":"Baillieres Clin Haematol"},{"key":"2020022800124860200_R2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1720","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198806303182604","volume":"318","year":"1988","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"2020022800124860200_R3","first-page":"461","year":"1998","journal-title":"Vitamin B12 and B12-proteins.
