Abstract:
Participants were 28 healthy people involved in genders, included smokers and non-smokers with age ranged from 18 to 50 years. Standard curve was established using 6 prepared sample kits of manufacturer with levels of 0, 4, 20, 80, 140 and 200ng/ml. The findings suggested that for technical standard, CEA quantification with IRMA using kits of France-based CIS Bio International was reliable, quality of kits and qualification skill is good. Average level of CEA maker in 28 subjects above is 4.19+/-2.35ng/ml with mean-point of 4.48, ranged from 0.00 to 8.37ng/ml. The most common level is 6.37ng/ml. Upper-marginal level is 2.59ng/ml and under-marginal level is 3.36ng/ml. There was insignificant difference between male and female.
