Validation of a fully automated chemiluminescent immunoassay for cattle serum and plasma progesterone measurement.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Monitoring circulating progesterone concentration ([P4]) is an important component of basic and applied reproduction research and clinical settings. IMMULITE^® 2000 XPi (Siemens Healthineers, Cary, NC) is a newly upgraded fully automated immunoassay system marketed for human use to measure concentrations of different measurands including P4.

Objectives

Our objective was therefore to characterize the analytical performance of the IMMULITE^® 2000 XPi P4 immunoassay (IPI) across the reportable range in serum and plasma of cattle.

Methods

The IPI validation protocols included characterization of the method linearity, within-run, and between-run precision through calculation of the coefficient of variation (CV). The method accuracy was assessed through the calculation of the spiking-recovery (SR) bias across the reportable range (0.2-40.0 ng/mL). Passing-Bablok regression and Bland-Altman plots were used to determine the interlaboratory bias for two laboratories. Three types of observed total error (TEo) were calculated based on the considered type of bias, TEo_SR (spiking-recovery), TEo_RB (range-based bias), and TEo_AB (average-based bias).

Results

The IPI was linearly related to the true value (R ² = 0.997) across the reportable range. The within-run and between-run precision (CV%) of the IPI for both serum and plasma [P4] of clinical relevance (1, 2, 5, and 10 ng/mL) were <5 and <10%, respectively. The TEo reported here for serum and plasma at [P4] of 1 and 5 ng/mL was ~20 and 25%, respectively. Of interest, the three types of TEo were relatively similar regardless of the considered bias.

Conclusions

We concluded that the automated IPI provides a precise, accurate, reliable, and safe method for measuring [P4] in both serum and plasma of cattle. Consistent with the manufacturer's recommendations, the serum matrix is more accurate than plasma.

Project description:African swine fever (ASF), caused by ASF virus (ASFV), is a highly infectious and severe hemorrhagic disease of pigs that causes major economic losses. Currently, no commercial vaccine is available and prevention and control of ASF relies mainly on early diagnosis. Here, a novel automated double antigen sandwich chemiluminescent immunoassay (DAgS-aCLIA) was developed to detect antibodies against ASFV p72 (p72-Ab). For this purpose, recombinant p72 trimer was produced, coupled to magnetic particles as carriers and labeled with acridinium ester as a signal trace. Finally, p72-Ab can be sensitively and rapidly measured on an automated chemiluminescent instrument. For quantitative analysis, a calibration curve was established with a laudable linearity range of 0.21 to 212.0 ng/mL (R2 = 0.9910) and a lower detection limit of 0.15 ng/mL. For qualitative analysis, a cut-off value was set at 1.50 ng/mL with a diagnostic sensitivity of 100.00% and specificity of 98.33%. Furthermore, antibody response to an ASF gene-deleted vaccine candidate can be accurately quantified using this DAgS-aCLIA, as evidenced by early seroconversion as early as 7 days post-immunization and high antibody levels. Compared with available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, this DAgS-aCLIA demonstrated a wider linearity range of 4 to 16-fold, and excellent analytical sensitivity and agreement of over 95.60%. In conclusion, our proposed DAgS-aCLIA would be an effective tool to support ASF epidemiological surveillance.IMPORTANCEAfrican swine fever virus (ASFV) is highly contagious in wild boar and domestic pigs. There is currently no vaccine available for ASF, so serological testing is an important diagnostic tool. Traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays provide only qualitative results and are time and resource consuming. This study will develop an automated chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) that can quantitatively and qualitatively detect antibodies to ASFV p72, greatly reducing detection time and labour-intensive operation, and improving detection sensitivity and linearity range. This novel CLIA would serve as a reliable and convenient tool for ASF pandemic surveillance and vaccine development.

Project description:BackgroundThrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) caused by a severe functional deficiency in ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type I repeats-13), the specific von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease. ADAMTS13 activity is essential to diagnose TTP but remains challenging to assess, as reference ADAMTS13 activity assays are manual and time consuming. Current techniques also lack robustness in low detectable ADAMTS13 activity range, which could prove problematic for therapy-driven monitoring.ObjectivesThe HemosIL AcuStar ADAMTS13 activity assay is a fast, automated chemiluminescent assay, the performance of which remains to be evaluated prospectively on very large cohorts of patients with TMA and in real-life conditions.Patients and methodsOur study was conducted over two successive sequences: a retrospective evaluation followed by a "real-life" prospective evaluation. Overall, we evaluated the HemosIL AcuStar ADAMTS13 activity assay on 539 citrated plasma samples. We extensively studied linearity, limit of detection, contamination, intra-assay and interassay precisions with a specific focus on levels < 25 IU/dL. Diagnostic performances for the detection of < 10 IU/dL ADAMTS13 activity and overall method comparison were conducted with the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRETS)-VWF73 assay as the reference method.ResultsTechnical performance proved excellent. Robustness in low detectable ADAMTS13 activity range was good, potentially qualifying this assay for therapy-driven monitoring. Comparison with the FRETS-VWF73 assay was satisfactory (r 2 = .83, P < .0001) as were the diagnostic performances for acute-phase TTP (specificity, 99.7%; positive predictive value, 99.2%).ConclusionThe HemosIL AcuStar ADAMTS13 activity assay is a fast, reliable, automated technique well adapted as a first-line ADAMTS13 activity assay for TTP diagnosis and follow-up.

Project description:BackgroundEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has traditionally been used to detect myeloperoxidase (MPO) and proteinase 3 (PR3) antibodies, although it is time-consuming and physically demanding. As a novel and highly effective immunoassay, we compared chemiluminescent immunoassay (CIA) with ELISA to verify the application value of CIA in MPO and PR3 antibodies detection.MethodsBy ELISA and CIA, serum levels of anti-MPO and anti-PR3 antibodies were measured in 63 anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) patients (AAV group), including 47 microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) patients and 16 granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) patients, in addition, 68 patients in interference control group (IC group), 19 healthy subjects in healthy control group (HC group). We compared MPO and PR3 antibodies levels and positive rates measured by these two methods among groups. Relationship and coincidence rate between ELISA and CIA were investigated. Diagnostic values for clinical outcomes for MPO and PR3 antibodies were assessed by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve.ResultsIn AAV patients, when detecting anti-MPO (r = .90) and anti-PR3 (r = .81), CIA was highly correlated with ELISA, companying with highly total (88.89%, 92.06%, respectively) and positive coincidence rates (84.78%, 77.27%, respectively). In HC group, anti-PR3 positive rate detected by both immunoassay were 0, anti-MPO almost were 0, which without statistically significant difference (P = .32). In IC group, the total (76.47%, 58.82, respectively) and positive coincidence rates (48.38%, 30.00%, respectively) of anti-MPO and anti-PR3 were the lowest, but the negative coincidence rates reached 100%. By CIA, similar to ELISA, the levels of anti-MPO were significantly higher both in AAV patients (56.00; [4.40-235.30]) and MPA patients (98.00; [27.90-324.70]) compared with either IC group (3.20; [3.20-18.55) (P < .0001) or HC group (3.20; [3.20-3.20]) (P < .0001), yielded an area under curve (AUC) of 0.76 for AAV and 0.89 for MPA, the concentration of anti-PR3 in GPA group (66.65; [24.43-150.00]) was significantly higher than that in IC group (2.3; [2.3-10.95]) (P < .0001) and HC group (2.3; [2.3-2.3]) (P < .0001), with an AUC of 0.92.ConclusionSimilar to ELISA, CIA was competent to detect MPO and PR3 antibodies in AAV patients and healthy population, thus distinguish AAV patients from IC group and HC group and effectively diagnose MPA and GPA.
