Bringing an immuno-PCR-based pharmacodynamic biomarker assay for reduced human IL-33 in serum, plasma, and aqueous humor into the clinic
Immuno-polymerase chain reaction (iPCR) is an analytical technology that combines the specificity of antibody reagents with the sensitivity of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) signal amplification. Here we describe the optimization and qualification of an ultra-sensitive iPCR method designed to detect and quantify active (reduced form) interleukin-33 (IL-33) in human samples. The modified assay incorporates several improvements over a previous version utilized in research studies. The changes aimed at making the assay more suitable to the rigorous requirements promulgated to biomarker assays supporting clinical development of new human therapeutics. The assay can accurately measure sub-picogram/mL levels of reduced IL-33, and has a dynamic range of 977–1000,000 fg/mL. We found this iPCR-based format to be versatile, and we believe it can be adapted to detect and quantify other low-level cytokines in human matrices when limited sample volumes are available.
期刊介绍:
This journal is an international medium directed towards the needs of academic, clinical, government and industrial analysis by publishing original research reports and critical reviews on pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis. It covers the interdisciplinary aspects of analysis in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and clinical sciences, including developments in analytical methodology, instrumentation, computation and interpretation. Submissions on novel applications focusing on drug purity and stability studies, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic monitoring, metabolic profiling; drug-related aspects of analytical biochemistry and forensic toxicology; quality assurance in the pharmaceutical industry are also welcome.
Studies from areas of well established and poorly selective methods, such as UV-VIS spectrophotometry (including derivative and multi-wavelength measurements), basic electroanalytical (potentiometric, polarographic and voltammetric) methods, fluorimetry, flow-injection analysis, etc. are accepted for publication in exceptional cases only, if a unique and substantial advantage over presently known systems is demonstrated. The same applies to the assay of simple drug formulations by any kind of methods and the determination of drugs in biological samples based merely on spiked samples. Drug purity/stability studies should contain information on the structure elucidation of the impurities/degradants.
