Abstract
Introduction
The objective of this study was to develop a highly sensitive time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TRFIA) method to detect phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)-IgG1 antibodies and evaluate its clinical relevance in predicting the prognosis of individuals with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN).
Materials and methods
A three-step indirect TRFIA method was established using a PLA2R antigen-coated microtiter plate to capture PLA2R-IgG antibodies, followed by detection using mouse anti-human IgG1 and Eu3+-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG antibodies. This method was applied to the initial serum of 56 patients with PLA2R-IMN to investigate the clinical value of PLA2R-IgG1 antibody levels in predicting IMN prognosis.
Results
The detection range of PLA2R-IgG1-TRFIA was 0.85–300 RU/mL, with intra-assay precision of 3.54–5.93 % and inter-assay precision of 4.39–9.36 %. Recoveries were 101.77–108.04 %. A PLA2R-IgG1 level above 2.21 RU/mL indicated PLA2R-IMN. At initial diagnosis, the median PLA2R-IgG level was 51.24 RU/mL in the remission group and 93.27 RU/mL in the non-remission group. The median PLA2R-IgG1 level was 603.32 RU/mL in the non-remission group, which was 4.29 times higher than that in the remission group (140.67 RU/mL). PLA2R-IgG1 levels (P = 0.001) more effectively distinguished between remission and non-remission groups compared with PLA2R-IgG levels (P = 0.094).
Conclusions
The first quantitative TRFIA for PLA2R-IgG1 was established, showing greater clinical value in predicting IMN prognosis, compared to that for PLA2R-IgG levels.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
