A new affinity method for quantification of glycated albumin by an enzyme-linked boronate-immunoassay (ELBIA) has been established, based on the interaction between boronic acids and the cis-diols of glycated human serum albumin (HSA) trapped by anti-HSA antibody. To evaluate the ELBIA, we first examined the accuracy of the conventional boronate affinity chromatographic (BAC) method. In the BAC method, 8.118.9% of nonglycated albumin calibrator nonspecifically bound to the boronate affinity column, values that were regarded as the column blank. In the modified BAC method, therefore, we subtracted the column blank value from the measured glycated albumin value to obtain the true value. Because glycated albumin values measured by ELBIA were exactly the same as reported by the modified BAC method, we suggest that the ELBIA results reflect the real status of albumin glycation. We have also developed a fully automated ELBIA system, allowing multiple, rapid, and precise measurements of glycated albumin.
