Methods We developed a two-step immunoassay for the simultaneous measurement of the relative levels of Aβ38, Aβ40 and Aβ42 in human EDTA plasma. The assay was employed for the study of 23 patients with dementia of the Alzheimer’s type (AD-D) and 17 patients with dementia due to other reasons (OD). We examined relationships with the clinical diagnosis, cerebral Aβ load as quantified by amyloid-positron emission tomography, apolipoprotein E genotype, Aβ levels and Tau protein in cerebrospinal fluid. Results Preconcentration of plasma Aβ peptides by immunoprecipitation substantially facilitated their immunological measurements. The Aβ42/Aβ40 and Aβ42/Aβ38 ratios were statistically significantly lower in the AD-D patients than in the OD group. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves reached 0.87 for the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio and 0.80 for the Aβ42/Aβ38 ratio. Conclusions The measurement of plasma Aβ peptides with an immunological assay can be improved by preconcentration via immunoprecipitation with an antibody against the Aβ amino-terminus and elution of the captured peptides by heating in a mild detergent-containing buffer. Our findings support the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio in blood plasma as a promising AD biomarker candidate which correlates significantly with the validated core biomarkers of AD. Further studies will be needed for technical advancement of the assay and validation of the biomarker findings."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s13195-018-0448-x"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15726"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59592"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.publisher","BioMed Central"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","A two-step immunoassay for the simultaneous assessment of Aβ38, Aβ40 and Aβ42 in human blood plasma supports the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio as a promising biomarker candidate of Alzheimer’s disease"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Here, we compared the diagnostic performance of fully automated prototype plasma Aβ42/40 assays with and without pre-analytical sample workup by immunoprecipitation.\r\n \r\n \r\n Methods\r\n A pre-selected clinical sample comprising 42 subjects with normal and 38 subjects with low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Aβ42/40 ratios was studied. The plasma Aβ42/40 ratios were determined with fully automated prototype Elecsys® immunoassays (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Penzberg, Germany) by direct measurements in EDTA plasma or after pre-analytical Aβ immunoprecipitation. The diagnostic performance for the detection of abnormal CSF Aβ42/40 was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. In an additional post hoc analysis, a biomarker-supported clinical diagnosis was used as a second endpoint.\r\n \r\n \r\n Results\r\n Pre-analytical immunoprecipitation resulted in a significant increase in the area under the ROC curve (AUC) from 0.73 to 0.88 (p = 0.01547) for identifying subjects with abnormal CSF Aβ42/40. A similar improvement in the diagnostic performance by pre-analytical immunoprecipitation was also observed when a biomarker-supported clinical diagnosis was used as a second endpoint (AUC increase from 0.77 to 0.92, p = 0.01576).\r\n \r\n \r\n Conclusions\r\n Our preliminary observations indicate that pre-analytical Aβ immunoprecipitation can improve the diagnostic performance of plasma Aβ assays for detecting brain amyloid pathology.
