The new technology to improve specificity of immunochromatography
Journal Title: Journal of Analytical Bio-Science - Year 2013, Vol 36, Issue 5
Abstract
Immunochromatography is one of the assays which are well known and used in clinical setting. To compare with the other assay, its rapidness, easy handling and inexpensive cost are being mentioned for its advantages. However, its quality of sensitivity and specificity are still developing so the users have to think the limitation of the kit they use and sometimes are required to interpret the test result with clinical record and the other assays exactly to diagnosis patients. To conquer the problem, several studies have been done especially to improve its sensitivity but few reports are shown about specificities. Thus, in this study, the specificity of BD Veritor System is evaluated from many aspects of scientific views. Human anti-animal antibody, cross reaction and test environment are now being considered as the factors which cause false positive in immunochromatography so the function of BD Veritor System was investigated with these several factors.
