Experimental researches and immunoassay influence factors of calcitonin

Calcitonin participates in physiological regulation of calcium metabolism, but it might not be the key factor. Multiple immunoassay methods have been developed for serum calcitonin detection. However, significant differences exist among the methods, and the results of immunoassay are affected by many factors. This paper mainly discusses some major advances in experimental researches of calcitonin and the influence factors of immunological measurement. (authors)
