Available assays for quantitation of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarker amyloid-beta 1-42 (Aβ [1-42]) in cerebrospinal fluid demonstrate significant variability and lack of standardization to reference measurement procedures (RMPs). We report analytical performance data for the novel Elecsys β-amyloid (1-42) assay (Roche Diagnostics).
Lot-to-lot comparability was tested using method comparison. Performance parameters were measured according to Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. The assay was standardized to a Joint Committee for Traceability in Laboratory Medicine (JCTLM) approved RMP.
Limit of quantitation was <11.28 pg/mL, and the assay was linear throughout the measuring range (200-1700 pg/mL). Excellent lot-to-lot comparability was observed (correlation coefficients [Pearson's r] >0.995; bias in medical decision area <2%). Repeatability coefficients of variation (CVs) were 1.0%-1.6%, intermediate CVs were 1.9%-4.0%, and intermodule CVs were 1.1%-3.9%. Estimated total reproducibility was 2.0%-5.1%. Correlation with the RMP was good (Pearson's r, 0.93).
The Elecsys β-amyloid (1-42) assay has high analytical performance that may improve biomarker-based AD diagnosis.
现有的阿尔茨海默病(AD)生物标志物淀粉样蛋白-β 1-42(Aβ[1-42])在脑脊液中的定量检测方法存在明显的变异性,且缺乏与参考测量程序(RMP)的标准化。我们报告了新型 Elecsys β-淀粉样蛋白(1-42)检测(罗氏诊断)的分析性能数据。
采用方法比较测试了批间可比性。根据临床和实验室标准协会(CLSI)指南测量性能参数。该检测已标准化为联合临床化学溯源性委员会(JCTLM)批准的 RMP。
定量限<11.28pg/mL,检测在整个测量范围内(200-1700pg/mL)均呈线性。观察到极好的批间可比性(Pearson 相关系数[r]>0.995;医学决策区域的偏差<2%)。重复性变异系数(CVs)为 1.0%-1.6%,中间 CVs 为 1.9%-4.0%,模块间 CVs 为 1.1%-3.9%。估计总再现性 CVs 为 2.0%-5.1%。与 RMP 的相关性良好(Pearson r,0.93)。
Elecsys β-淀粉样蛋白(1-42)检测具有较高的分析性能,可能有助于改善基于生物标志物的 AD 诊断。
