An immunochromatographic strip was developed using a gold nanoparticle-conjugated monoclonal antibody to detect cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) in human urine. The monoclonal antibody anti-hCOMP produced from the hybridoma cell clone, hCOMP, is specific to osteoarthritis (OA), and polycolonal antibodies against COMP proteins were conjugated using a gold nanoparticle (approximately 40 nm) to enable detection. The preliminary test results of the proposed biomarker-prepared strip showed a positive correlation with those obtained using Western-blot assay to urinal COMP and exhibited a reliable detection range from 50 to 400 ng. The visual detection limit of the prepared test strip was 50 ng. The test results of OA patients showed consistent diagnostic agreement compared with clinical X-ray radiography. Thus, based on the detection of COMP from urine, the proposed immunoassay method is suitable for screening and noninvasively diagnosing OA.

A gold nanoparticle-based lateral-flow test (GNT) strip was developed to detect xylazine (XYL) in milk. And the limit of detection (LOD) and cut-off value of the GNT assay were evaluated to be 20 and 200 ng mL−1 in milk samples by the naked eye.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Multiple myeloma is a so far incurable malignant plasma cell disorder. During the past 2 decades, treatment paradigms substantially changed when novel drugs were introduced initially in treatment of relapsed disease and subsequently also in first-line treatment. <b><i>Summary:</i></b> Up to now, first-line treatment differs between patients initially classified as transplant eligible and those who are considered as nontransplant eligible. Transplant-eligible patients receive a primary proteasome inhibitor (PI)-based induction which is being combined with an immunomodulating agent and a CD38-directed monoclonal antibody followed by high-dose melphalan therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation with subsequent maintenance treatment with lenalidomide. Patients who are considered as nontransplant eligible receive upfront treatment preferentially with a continuous combination treatment either with a CD38-directed monoclonal antibody in combination with the immunomodulating agent lenalidomide or a lenalidomide-PI combination followed by lenalidomide maintenance. <b><i>Key Messages:</i></b> Primary goal of the initiated treatment is to induce a rapid and deep remission which ideally leads to an eradication of the residual plasma cell clone in sense of a minimal residual disease negativity. Achievement of long-term remission with limited toxicity despite continuous treatment strategies and maintenance or improvement of life-quality is key. Despite successful treatment options, specific difficult-to-treat subgroups, especially patients with high-risk myeloma remain with inferior prognosis and a clear unmet need for novel therapeutic strategies. Future concepts will evaluate cellular treatments and other innovative immunotherapies in first-line treatment in curative intention.
