Adiponectin (ADPN), which serum/plasma adiponectin levels are closely associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, and lower adiponectin levels predict an increased risk of diabetes, is a strong indicator of diabetes risk in people at high risk of diabetes in different races. Using the unique principle and performance advantages of chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA), an ADPN-CLIA method with high sensitivity, high specificity and wide detection range was established based on the principle of two-steps method of sandwich-type, with the magnetic particles (MPs) as the solid phase carrier and acridinium ester (AE) as the chemiluminescence reaction system. The selection of the main raw materials required, the preparation conditions of MPs-coated antibodies, the methods of AE-labeled antibodies, sample requirements and reaction modes were optimized and evaluated. AE labeling experiment was successfully performed with the labeling efficiency of 8.366 and the antibody utilization rate of 96.8%. The chemiluminescent immunoassay for ADPN had a good linear relationship from 0 ng/mL to 250 ng/mL (R2 =0.9993), with the detection limit of 0.05 ng/mL. The coefficient of variation (CV) of intra-assay and inter-assay precision were both less than 5% respectively. The recovery rates for accuracy were from 91.26% to 107.46%. The comparison experiment of 80 clinical serum samples between the developed ADPN-CLIA with the immunoturbidimetry showed that the correlation coefficient was 0.956, and the Bland-Altman analysis showed that the limits of agreement were - 0.364 and 0.433.
