chimeric external control to quantify cell free dna in plasma samples by real time pcr
background: dna isolation procedure can significantly influence the quantification of dna by real time pcr specially when cell free dna (cfdna) is the subject. to assess the extraction efficiency, linearity of the extraction yield, presence of co-purified inhibitors and to avoid problems with fragment size relevant to cfdna, development of appropriate external dna control (edc) is challenging. ...
متن کاملQuantitative measurement of immunoglobulins and free light chains using mass spectrometry.
Serum free light chain (sFLC) assays are well established in the diagnosis and monitoring of plasma cell disorders. However, current FLC immunoassays are subject to several analytical issues, which results in a lack of harmonized results. To facilitate sFLC standardization, we investigated the strengths and limitations of mass spectrometry as a novel technological platform for sFLC quantificati...
متن کاملAre renal reference intervals required when screening for plasma cell disorders with serum free light chains and serum protein electrophoresis?
Renal impairment and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia may abnormally increase the serum free light chain (sFLC) ratio, giving false-positive results with current reference intervals. We measured sFLCs with concomitant serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) and urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP) in 281 patients. Results were interpreted relative to renal function (serum creatinine concentration...

متن کاملDetermination of Mebudipine in Human Plasma by Liquid Chromatography–tandem Mass Spectrometry
In previous studies, mebudipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, showed a considerable potential to be used in cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the current study was to develop a valid method using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry to assay mebudipine in the human plasma. Separation was achieved on a Zorbax...
