Abstract We compared three different strategies for measuring basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) by fluorometric enzyme immunoassay (EIA). After optimizing conditions, we found that a primary anti-bFGF MAb directly conjugated with peroxidase gave the best detection limit for recombinant bFGF (approximately 30 ng/L, 3 pg/assay tube) in a two-site sandwich assay. The detection limit of methods based on biotinylated primary MAbs or on secondary antibodies followed by streptavidin-conjugated peroxidase was slightly lower than that of the above method. Using the most sensitive EIA examined in this study, we made a preliminary measurement of immunoreactive bFGF in sera of apparently healthy people and found it to be 190 (SD 32) ng/L (n = 48), in agreement with an earlier reported value (30-206 ng/L). Also, the concentration of immunoreactive bFGF in sera was above normal in 19 of 31 patients with stomach cancer.
