Evaluation of influence of serum interferences using the spike and recovery test.
| N=13 | Serum HO-1 (ng/mL) | % coefficient variations (%)b |
|---|---|---|
| Low, 1 ng/mLa | 98 | 10 |
| Middle, 5 ng/mLa | 105 | 8 |
| High, 10 ng/mLa | 104 | 9 |
aLow, middle, and high mean known concentrations of purified HO-1; bthe acceptable range of coefficient variation is less than 10%. HO-1, hemeoxygenase-1.
