Highly Sensitive Immunoassay for Long Forms of Cardiac Troponin T Using Upconversion Luminescence.
Background: Long cardiac troponin T (cTnT) has been proposed to be a promising and more specific biomarker of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). As it represents a subfraction of circulating cTnT, detection of very low concentrations is a requirement. The aim of this study was to develop a novel, highly sensitive immunoassay for long cTnT.
Methods: A two-step sandwich-type immunoassay for long cTnT was developed, utilizing upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) as reporters. The limits of detection and quantitation were determined for the assay. Linearity and matrix effects were evaluated. Performance with clinical samples was assessed with samples from patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI, n = 30) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD, n = 37) and compared to a previously developed time-resolved fluorescence (TRF)-based long cTnT assay and a commercial high-sensitivity cTnT assay.
Results: The novel assay reached a 28-fold lower limit of detection (0.40 ng/L) and 14-fold lower limit of quantitation (1.79 ng/L) than the previously developed TRF long cTnT assay. Li-heparin and EDTA plasma, but not serum, were found to be suitable sample matrixes for the assay. In a receiver operating characteristics curve analysis, the troponin ratio (long/total cTnT) determined with the novel assay showed excellent discrimination between NSTEMI and ESRD with an area under the curve of 0.986 (95% CI, 0.967-1.000).
Conclusions: By utilizing upconversion luminescence technology, we developed a highly sensitive long cTnT assay. This novel assay can be a valuable tool for investigating the full potential of long cTnT as a biomarker for AMI. ClinicalTrials.gov Registration Number: NCT04465591.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Chemistry is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that is the premier publication for the science and practice of clinical laboratory medicine. It was established in 1955 and is associated with the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM).
The journal focuses on laboratory diagnosis and management of patients, and has expanded to include other clinical laboratory disciplines such as genomics, hematology, microbiology, and toxicology. It also publishes articles relevant to clinical specialties including cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, genetics, immunology, infectious diseases, maternal-fetal medicine, neurology, nutrition, oncology, and pediatrics.
In addition to original research, editorials, and reviews, Clinical Chemistry features recurring sections such as clinical case studies, perspectives, podcasts, and Q&A articles. It has the highest impact factor among journals of clinical chemistry, laboratory medicine, pathology, analytical chemistry, transfusion medicine, and clinical microbiology.
The journal is indexed in databases such as MEDLINE and Web of Science.
