To assess the potential influence of the ratio between the storage tube surface area and the volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (surface/volume) on the quantifications of four Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers on the Lumipulse G600II automated platform.
CSF samples of 10 consecutive patients were stored in 2 ml polypropylene tubes containing four different CSF volumes: 1.5 ml, 1 ml, 0.5 ml and 0.25 ml. Concentration of CSF Aβ1-42, Aβ1-40, t-Tau and p-Tau were measured in all aliquots using the LUMIPULSE G600II automated platform from Fujirebio.
Levels of CSF Aβ1-42 and Aβ1-40 were lower in samples stored with lower volumes (higher surface/volume ratios). This decrease was partly compensated by using the ratio Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40. Quantification of t-Tau and p-Tau were not influenced by this pre-analytical condition.
The surface/volume ratio can potentially influence the results of amyloid AD biomarkers. It appears essential to take into account the surface/volume ratio of the storage tubes when quantifying CSF biomarkers in clinical routine.
评估脑脊液(CSF)存储管表面积与体积之比(表面积/体积)对 Lumipulse G600II 自动化平台上四种阿尔茨海默病(AD)生物标志物定量的潜在影响。
将 10 例连续患者的 CSF 样本储存在含有 4 种不同 CSF 体积的 2ml 聚丙烯管中:1.5ml、1ml、0.5ml 和 0.25ml。使用 Fujirebio 的 LUMIPULSE G600II 自动化平台测量所有等分试样中 CSF Aβ1-42、Aβ1-40、t-Tau 和 p-Tau 的浓度。
在体积较小(表面积/体积比较高)的样本中,CSF Aβ1-42 和 Aβ1-40 的水平较低。通过使用 Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40 比值,部分补偿了这种降低。t-Tau 和 p-Tau 的定量不受这种分析前条件的影响。
表面积/体积比可能会影响淀粉样 AD 生物标志物的结果。在临床常规中定量 CSF 生物标志物时,似乎必须考虑存储管的表面积/体积比。
