ABSTRACT
Immunoassay control surveys, were conducted by the Subcommittee for Radioisotope in vitro Test, the Medical Science and Pharmaceutical Committee, and the Japan Radioisotope Association, between 1978 to 2008. A total of 40 analytes for 26 hormones, 14 tumor markers and pharmaceutical drugs were investigated in participating facilities. In the first immunoassay control survey in 1978, samples were measured using only RI kits, however, non-RI kits increased gradually during the next 30 years. In the 30th immunoassay control survey, more than 90% samples were measured using non-RI kits. Coefficient variation (CV) of intra-kits has been decreasing yearly in all analytes for hormones as well as tumor markers. However, improvement of CV in inter-kits has not been seen in the past 30 years by a lack of international standards, although there has been continuous effort over the years for the standardization of immunoassay. Growth hormone (GH) deficiency has been diagnosed using various loading tests. However, the clinical diagnosis varies according to the GH kit used. Standardization for GH measurement has been possible by using recombinant GH as the standard among commercial GH kits. The diagnosis of subclinical Cushing's syndrome also varies according to the cortisol kits being used. Candidate reference measurement procedure and low level cortisol standards have been developed by the Biomedical Standard Section, of the National Metrology Institute of Japan. Standardization of measurement is necessary for improvement of immunoassay.
