Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) assay is based on biotin-streptavidin (BSA) system and has been widely used due to high sensitivity. 
OBJECTIVE: To establish sICAM-1 BAS time resolution fluoroimmunoassay method (sICAM-1 BAS-TRFIA) and to explore the sICAM-1 fluctuation and clinical significance prior to and after lung transplantation.
METHODS: Two matching monoclonal antibodies served as capture immune body and the examination immune body, respectively. The europium-labeled streptavidin (SA-Eu 3+ ) served as tracer and combined with biotinylated immune body to establish the sICAM-1 BSA-TRFIA method. This method was used to detect sICAM-1 levels in 30 healthy adults and 26 recipients prior to and after lung transplantation. The clinical significance of sICAM-1 BSA-TRFIA method was evaluated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The determine results of 30 healthy adults were (348.63±69.12) µg/L. There was no significant difference in sICAM-1 between control and prior to transplantation group. After transplantation, there was obviously difference  (P < 0.05). The sICAM-1 increased when acute rejection occurs but decreased after concurrent infection, but the differences had no significant. The findings demonstrated that, sICAM-1 BSA-TRFIA method is a novel non-radioactive labeled immunoassay with high sensitivity and wide scope. Monitoring of serum sICAM-1 is helpful to auxiliary diagnosis acute rejection following lung transplantation.
