An abstract entitled “A performance evaluation of three currently used thymidine kinase 1 assays in sera from patients with hematological malignancies shows high concordance”, by Staffan Eriksson et al., has been accepted for oral presentation at the ISOBM (International Society of Oncology and BioMarkers) congress in Hamburg, Germany November 24-27, 2018.

The study presents results from a performance evaluation of TK 210 ELISA and activity-based methods, e.i. LIAISON® Thymidine Kinase, and 3H-dThd phosphorylation, by using serum samples from subjects with hematological malignancies and healthy blood donors. The results shows that TK 210 ELISA has similar performance compared to the LIAISON Thymidine Kinase and the 3H-dThd phosphorylation assays when measuring TK1 in serum.

The authors conclude that TK 210 ELISA is a valuable tool in the management of hematological malignancies, as well as in breast cancer as previously described (Tumor Biology, 2016). While TK 210 ELISA delivers the same result as activity-based methods, it is robust, easy-to-use and can be adapted to automated high throughput ELISA platforms.
