Abstract
Background: Desmosine and isodesmosine are crosslinking amino acids found in extracellular matrix protein elastin, which imparts elasticity to tissues such as those of the lungs and arteries. These compounds are promising biomarkers for diseases involving elastin degradation, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Research design and method: This study examined the correlation between isotope-dilution LC-MS/MS and a newly established ELISA for in vitro diagnosis using a variety of samples.
Results: Results of ELISA and LC-MS/MS analyses exhibited a high correlation coefficient (0.9941). However, whereas the LC-MS/MS measurements deviated approximately 2-fold from the theoretical values, the ELISA measurements ranged from 0.83 to 1.06 (avg 0.94) times the theoretical values. Precise measurement of the absorbance of synthetic desmosine revealed a molar extinction coefficient of 2403, which differed markedly from the previously reported value of 4900 in 1963. Using this value to recalculate the amount of added desmosine, the LC-MS/MS measurements were 0.68 to 0.99 (avg 0.87) times the theoretical values.
Conclusion: Thus, the developed ELISA enables highly accurate determination of desmosine concentrations, comparable to LC-MS/MS, suggesting that ELISA is a potentially useful in vitro diagnostic tool.

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.
