Ferritin is an indirect solid phase enzyme immunometric assay (ELISA). It is designed for the quantitative measurement of human ferritin in serum or plasma. The assay is based on microplates coated with highly specific antihumanferritin antibodies. The microplate can be divided into 12 modules of 8 wells each or can be used completely for 96determinations. Each well can be separated from the module (

- Background
-
20 % of the human iron (total: 45 g) is reversely bound to ferritin as an intracellular storage protein. The remaining iron is bound to hemoglobin (60 %) and myoglobin or enzymes (20 %). Ferritin has a molecular weight of 450 kDa and is located in various tissues, i.e. liver, spleen, bone marrow or mucous of the bowels. Highly purified ferritin can develop redbrown crystals. Its 24 subunits form a hollow sphere to bind 4000 iron atoms connected to hydroxyphosphate residues. The uncombined protein is called apoferritin. The iron-loaded ferritin is the most important and most specific iron storage of the cells and of the whole organism. In case of iron-deficiency iron can be released quickly from ferritin and it is served in a bioavailable status. Ferritin is found intracellularly and in the blood stream. It is a reliable parameter to determine the iron concentration in the body. Serum ferritin concentrations remain constant during the biorhythm in contrast to the alternating iron values. Ferritin values depend of the patient's age and sex. Regular loss of blood or blood donation decrease the ferritin values.
