| Adenosine deaminase(ADA)is a kind of catabolic enzyme of nucleic acid,which plays an important role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of tuberculosis,malignant tumor,central nervous system disease,liver disease and typhoid.Kinds of analytical methods have been used in determining the catalytic concentration of ADA.But these methods often yield widely different results and need to be standardized.Our objective was to establish candidate reference method of ADA by using enzymatic coupling method and prepared ADA reference material by biosynthetic method.The reference interval for ADA has also been established based on candidate reference method.At last,the established reference method was applied in clinical.Chapter 1 Research of the candidate reference method of adenosine deaminaseObjectiveTo establish the candidate reference method of ADA.Methods1.Review of the related literature about measuring method of ADA in domestic and abroad,to know the development and clinical application of ADA.2.The selection of candidate reference method of ADA:at first,kinds of measuring methods of ADA were studied,then the performance of selected methods was evaluated.3.Requirement of preparing reagents:including the condition of environment,weighing and quality of water.All of these were according to the requirements of reference method.4.Calibration of instruments:before the measurement was carried out,all instruments should be calibrated according to the reference laboratory SOP,such as ultraviolet spectrophotometer,dilution compounding device,pH meter,electronic balance,thermometer,pipettes,glassware and other used equipment.5.Selection and optimization of measuring conditions:including environmental temperature and humidity,measuring temperature,detection wavelength,wave width,slot,incubation time,delay time,detection time and detection points etc.6.Optimization of reaction system:including the pH and the concentration of reagents.Appropriate scope of each influencing factor was determined by single factor analysis.Then the significant factors were selected by Plackett-Burman(PB)method.At last,the relationship of multiple factors and indicators in the experiment was fitted by the polynomial approximation and analyzed by responses surface function of response surface method(RSM).Then the optimal value was calculated.7.pH of the system was validated and the measuring methods of PNP,XOD,POD were optimized.8.Performance evaluation for ADA candidate reference method:precision,linearity,accuracy,ability of anti-interference were evaluated
