One-Step Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for Plasma Fatty Acid-Binding Protein

Abstract
To allow a more rapid determination of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) concentration in plasma a direct non-competitive (sandwich-type) ELISA was developed which uses high-affinity monoclonal antibodies to FABP. Total performance time of the one-step immunoassay is 45min. The standard curve was linear between 0·2–6μg/L, and the within-run and between-run coefficients of variations were below 6 and 11%, respectively. The serum FABP concentration measured in 79 healthy individuals was 1·6 (0·8) [mean (SD), range 0·3–5·0] μg/L. The assay can be used for rapid plasma or serum FABP measurement in the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
