---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Serum samples‡ | Well-to-well | Plate-to-plate | Day-to-day | Operator 1 | Operator 2 | P value |
PAP patient 1 | 10.3 | 11.7 | 11.6 | 100.4±4.5 | 97.8±7.0 | 0.27 |
PAP patient 2 | 9.1 | 8.3 | 5.4 | 142.1±12.9 | 138.4±11.1 | 0.61 |
PAP patient 3 | 4.5 | 10.0 | 7.2 | 24.0±2.5 | 25.5±2.1 | 0.47 |
Coefficient of variation was calculated as defined in the methods. Standard deviation × 100 / mean
GMAb concentration of three serum samples were evaluated to validate precision of the assay.
GMAb concentration of three serum samples were evaluated by two different operators. Data are expressed as mean.
