Abstract
Background: Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) is the chief binding protein for insulin-like growth factors 1 and 2 (IGF-1 and IGF-2). Serum concentrations of IGFBP-3 are regulated by growth hormone (GH) and IGF-1 levels. Serum IGFBP-3 measurements are useful for diagnostic evaluations of short stature in children and acromegaly. Methods: A IGFBP-3 assay for the IMMULITE 2000 analyzer was evaluated for limit of detection, linearity, intra- and interassay imprecision, comparison to another commercially available assay, interference studies, and an adult reference interval. Results: The limit of detection was 0.006 mg/l. The assay was linear from 0.01 to 15.1 mg/l. The total interassay imprecision was
