Eliminating heterophilic antibody interference for ferritin detection using Olympus F(ab')2 based reagent

Eric Grouzmann et al. Clin Lab. 2008.

Abstract

Interferences with the Olympus immunoturbidimetric assay for ferritin have been reported because the antibodies used in the immunoassay are derived from rabbits. Rabbits are familiar pets known to be a risk factor for developing heterophilic (or interfering) antibodies. This report shows how the current Olympus Ferritin assay has been improved to eliminate the interference from heterophilic antibodies.
