Method comparison and re-calibration of three top-used immunoassays and one LC-MS/MS assay for four core cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease: an explorative study for harmonization
Background
We aimed to compare the analytical performance of four assays, for measuring β-amyloid 1–42 (Aβ1-42), β-amyloid 1–40 (Aβ1-40), total tau, and p-tau181 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and evaluate the clinical performance for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
Methods
The measured concentrations and analytical performance, including precision, linearity, and accuracy of four assays were compared. The discriminative accuracy for amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) status based on different assays was evaluated.
Results
The measurements of the four biomarkers based on the four assays demonstrated favorable agreement, while still significantly different. For the discrimination of PET status, the ratio of Aβ1-42/p-tau181 showed better diagnostic performance than other biomarkers, with liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and Lumipulse G assays performing better when combining all biomarkers for each assay.
Conclusions
It is crucial to promote the harmonization and standardization of pre-analytical and measurement procedures to achieve consistent and comparable results in different assays and laboratories.
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.
