V617f Mutation

The JAK2 V617F mutation is a major diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring molecular target of Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). To date, numerous methods of detecting the JAK2 V617F mutation have been reported, but there is no gold-standard diagnostic method for clinical applications. Here, we developed and validated an efficient Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR associated protein 12a (Cas12a)-based assay to detect the JAK2 V617F mutation. Our results showed that the sensitivity of the JAK2 V617F/Cas12a fluorescence detection system was as high as 0.01%, and the JAK2 V617F/Cas12a lateral flow strip assay could unambiguously detect as low as 0.5% of the JAK2 V617F mutation, which was much higher than the sensitivity required for clinical application. The minimum detectable concentration of genomic DNA achieved was 0.01 ng/μL (~5 aM, ~3 copies/μL). In addition, the whole process only took about 1.5 h, and the cost of an individual test was much lower than that of the current assays. Thus, our methods can be applied to detect the JAK2 V617F mutation, and they are highly sensitive, rapid, cost-effective, and convenient.

Abstract We used a noncompetitive enzyme-linked immunoassay to measure apolipoprotein B (apo-B) concentration in human plasma. Goat anti-lipoprotein B immunoglobulins were adsorbed to the surface of polystyrene balls. After washing, this solid-phase antibody was incubated with antigen (plasma from normal or hyperlipoproteinemic fasting subjects), washed, and then incubated with peroxidase-labeled goat anti-lipoprotein B IgG. After a last washing, we measured the bound label, which provided a direct measurement of the antigen. Under optimized assay conditions, the minimum detectable concentration was 50 ng per assay. The assay may be used to measure apo-B in different lipoprotein fractions (low- or very-low-density) and yields values that compared favorably with those obtained by electroimmunoassay (r = 0.86). The assay offers several advantages over existing techniques: sensitivity, specificity, simplicity, avoidance of radioisotopes, and potential for use with monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract We report the results of a laboratory and clinical evaluation of a commercial kit procedure (Immuno Nuclear Corp.) for measuring the mid-region of the parathyrin molecule. The estimated dose at 50% binding averaged 130 pmol/L, and the minimum detectable concentration was 14 pmol/L. The within-assay CV was less than or equal to 6.6%, the between-assay CV less than or equal to 12.5%. Relative analytical recoveries of various parathyrin fragments averaged 93% (intact, amino acid residues 1-84), 100% (midregion, 44-68), less than 0.01% (N-terminal, 1-34), and less than 0.01% (C-terminal, 69-84). Correlation of results obtained for 59 patients' samples with a radioimmunoassay for midregion/C-terminal parathyrin performed by the Mayo Medical Laboratory yielded the equation INC = 1.16 (Mayo)-1.94 pmol/L (r = 0.971). Clinical evaluation indicates that the INC results for parathyrin correlate with the diagnoses of patients at least as well as the results obtained with the Mayo assay; in some cases, the INC procedure better distinguishes hyperfunction from normal parathyroid function. The INC procedure can be easily performed in hospital laboratories, with a 4-h turnaround time for results.

Abstract We evaluated the AxSYM troponin I (cTnI) immunoassay for assisting in the detection of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). At four sites, the total imprecision (CV) over 20 days was 6.3–10.2%. The minimum detectable concentration was 0.14 ± 0.05 μg/L. Comparison of cTnI measurements between the AxSYM and Stratus (n = 406) over the dynamic range of the AxSYM assay demonstrated good correlation, r = 0.881, with a proportional bias: AxSYM cTnI = 3.50(Stratus cTnI) − 1.10. The confidence intervals (95%) for the slope and intercept were 3.39–3.64 and −1.32 to −0.95, respectively. The expected cTnI concentration in healthy individuals was ≤0.5 μg/L, whereas the ROC curve-determined cutoff for AMI was 2.0 μg/L. This gave a diagnostic sensitivity of 91.8% and specificity of 92.4% when tested in serial samples collected within 24 h of admission in 633 patients presenting with chest pain, of which 122 had an AMI. The concordances of the AxSYM cTnI with the Stratus cTnI, OPUS cTnI, and Access cTnI were 95.3%, 95.1%, and 94.3%, respectively, from patients with suspected AMI. The AxSYM cTnI demonstrated excellent clinical specificity, ≥96%, in skeletal muscle injury, chronic renal disease, and same-day noncardiac surgery patients.

Abstract A method is described for the determination of citrinin in corn and barley. The mycotoxin is extracted with a mixture of acetonitrile-10% glycolic acid in water, defatted with isooctane, and transferred to chloroform according to published methods. The mycotoxin is separated by thin layer chromatography (TLC) on plates previously impregnated with 10% glycolic acid solution in ethanol; identity is confirmed by chemical tests. Citrinin is then quantitated by the limit detection method. Recoveries of citrinin from corn and barley samples spiked at levels of 50, 80, 150, 300, 500, and 1000 μg/kg were in the range 91-98%. The minimum detectable concentration is 15-20 μg/ kg. Recoveries obtained with and without glycolic acid in the extraction solvent were compared. Sensitivities on TLC plates (limits of detection, μg/spot) impregnated with glycolic acid were compared with those on plates impregnated with oxalic acid.

Abstract Hemoglobin in plasma can be determined by the color-developing action of 2,2'-azino-di(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), which is oxidized to a colored form by a peroxidase-like effect of hemoglobin in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Sensitivity, precision, and accuracy are discussed. The calibration curve is linear for hemoglobin concentrations up to 1 g/L; the minimum detectable concentration is 20 mg/L. The within-run precision (CV) was 2.39%, analytical recovery 101.8%. Interference from plasma proteins and lipids was eliminated by centrifuging the reaction mixture before measuring its absorbance at 410 nm.

Abstract A gas chromatographic-single ion mass spectrometric method was developed for determining dimethoate residues in wheat plants. The base peak (m/e 87) of dimethoate was chosen as the single ion peak, and methyl stearate was used as an internal standard for this analysis. The minimum detectable concentration of dimethoate by this method was about 0.1 ppm for a 20 g wheat plant sample. The recoveries of dimethoate were about 89% at 0.13 ppm and >96% at 0.5-1 ppm.
