Abstract:Objective: To explore the interfering effects of common chemotherapy drugs on enzymelabeled immunoassay. Methods: Interfering drug alkylating agents (cyclophosphamide), antimetabolites (cytarabine, fluorouracil, gemcitabine, decitabine), antitumor antibiotics (etoposide), antitumor plant component drugs (vincristine, paclitaxel and docetaxel), other antitumor drugs (cisplatin, oxaliplatin, carboplatin, nedaplatin and irinotecan) and antitumor targeted drugs (bortezomib, hoxetine, pemetrexed disodium) were added into the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)+tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) reaction systems to measure the optical density value with a microplate reader; and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP)+3-(2′-Spiraladamantane)4methoxy4(3″phosphoryloxy) benzene-1,2-dioxetane (AMPPD) reaction system to measure the relative luminous intensity with a chemiluminescence instrument. Results: Compared with the control group, in the HRP enzyme-labeled reaction system, all of gemcitabine, bortezomib, docetaxel, paclitaxel, fluorouracil and etoposide produced different degrees of negative interference (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Among them, the interference effects of gemcitabine, docetaxel, paclitaxel, fluorouracil and etoposide were all dose-dependent. In the ALP enzyme-labeled reaction system, compared with the control group, all of bortezomib, docetaxel, paclitaxel, etoposide, irinotecan, decitabine and pemetrexed disodium produced different degrees of negative interference (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Among them, the interference effects of docetaxel, paclitaxel, irinotecan, decitabine, and pemetrexed disodium were all dosedependent. In the two enzyme reaction systems, docetaxel and paclitaxel still had interference effects at the peak concentration of human blood. Conclusion: Docetaxel and paclitaxel had obvious interference effects on HRP and ALP-labeled immune reaction system.
