Description

Some patients can develop heterophile antibodies that can interfere with immunoassay testing. Among immunometric assays, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) assays have been found uniquely susceptible to heterophile antibody interference, but other assays can be affected as well. When present, these heterophilic antibodies are able to bind to animal antibodies used in immunoassays, causing false positive results. The inclusion of blocking agents can prevent interference in most but not all cases PMID: 24094636. Source: Regenstrief LOINC
