Abstract
Objective
Abnormal serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) levels are closely related to the occurrence and development of many diseases. This study aimed to establish a fluorescence immunochromatography (FIC) method using the lanthanide fluorescent element europium(III) (Eu3+) for the quantitative measurement of MMP-9 in serum.
Design & Methods
The FIC method for quantifying MMP-9 was optimized and established, and the FIC test strips (FICTS) were assembled and subsequently evaluated for sensitivity, specificity and precision. Furthermore, the reference interval and clinical sensitivity/specificity were estimated using clinical healthy/positive serum samples, and a commercial ELISA was used for comparison.
Results
We successfully established an FIC method and prepared FICTS. The analytical sensitivity of the FICTS was 0.92 ng/mL, with a linearity range of 0–1000 ng/mL. The cross-reactivity of the 7 common serum interferents was less than 1.56%. All recoveries of the intra-array and inter-array samples ranged from 102.50% to 110.99%, and all CVs were less than 5%. The reference interval of the FICTS was >161.15 ng/mL. The clinical sensitivity was 96.00%, and the specificity was 97.5%. The results of 270 clinical serum samples were highly coincident with the clinical diagnostic results. Pearson correlation analysis and Bland‒Altman plots indicated that the FICTS and commercial ELISA results were consistent with the quantitative MMP-9 concentration.
Conclusions
The designed FIC method and test strips may be suitable for point-of-care quantitative measurement of MMP-9, which provides a new method for screening for atherosclerosis, xerophthalmia, etc.
期刊介绍：
Practical Laboratory Medicine is a high-quality, peer-reviewed, international open-access journal publishing original research, new methods and critical evaluations, case reports and short papers in the fields of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine. The objective of the journal is to provide practical information of immediate relevance to workers in clinical laboratories. The primary scope of the journal covers clinical chemistry, hematology, molecular biology and genetics relevant to laboratory medicine, microbiology, immunology, therapeutic drug monitoring and toxicology, laboratory management and informatics. We welcome papers which describe critical evaluations of biomarkers and their role in the diagnosis and treatment of clinically significant disease, validation of commercial and in-house IVD methods, method comparisons, interference reports, the development of new reagents and reference materials, reference range studies and regulatory compliance reports. Manuscripts describing the development of new methods applicable to laboratory medicine (including point-of-care testing) are particularly encouraged, even if preliminary or small scale.
