Abstract

Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a large protein secreted exclusively by the thyroid gland. In a clinical setting, it is measured for the purpose of follow-up of thyroidectomy patients. However, Tg measurements are often impeded by the presence of Tg autoantibodies and/or heterophylic antibodies that interfere with most measuring platforms. This presents a global problem in thyroid cancer patients who need to be postoperatively monitored for recurrent or residual disease. Therefore, in this paper we offer an overview of the existing methodologies and alternative approaches for Tg measurements that are a focus of research worldwide. These include Tg mRNA measurements, exosomal Tg detection, the use of alternative analytes (liquid biopsies) and the development of new approaches for preanalytical sample treatment.

甲状腺球蛋白测量方法的挑战和当前进展。

甲状腺球蛋白(Tg)是一种由甲状腺分泌的大蛋白。在临床环境中，它被测量为甲状腺切除术患者的随访目的。然而，Tg测量经常受到Tg自身抗体和/或干扰大多数测量平台的异源抗体的存在的阻碍。这提出了一个全球性的问题，甲状腺癌患者谁需要术后监测复发或残留的疾病。因此，在本文中，我们提供了现有的方法和替代方法的Tg测量的概述，这是全球研究的焦点。这些包括Tg mRNA测量，外泌体Tg检测，替代分析物(液体活检)的使用以及分析前样品处理新方法的开发。

期刊介绍： Reliable data obtained from selective, sensitive and reproducible analysis of xenobiotics and biotics in biological samples is a fundamental and crucial part of every successful drug development program. The same principles can also apply to many other areas of research such as forensic science, toxicology and sports doping testing. The bioanalytical field incorporates sophisticated techniques linking sample preparation and advanced separations with MS and NMR detection systems, automation and robotics. Standards set by regulatory bodies regarding method development and validation increasingly define the boundaries between speed and quality. Bioanalysis is a progressive discipline for which the future holds many exciting opportunities to further reduce sample volumes, analysis cost and environmental impact, as well as to improve sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, efficiency, assay throughput, data quality, data handling and processing. The journal Bioanalysis focuses on the techniques and methods used for the detection or quantitative study of analytes in human or animal biological samples. Bioanalysis encourages the submission of articles describing forward-looking applications, including biosensors, microfluidics, miniaturized analytical devices, and new hyphenated and multi-dimensional techniques. Bioanalysis delivers essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative but accessible forum for the modern bioanalyst.
