Candidate high-resolution mass spectrometry-based reference method for the quantification of procalcitonin in human serum using a characterized recombinant protein as a primary calibrator

Résumé

Procalcitonin (PCT) is a widely used biomarker for rapid sepsis diagnosis and antibiotic stewardship. Variability of results in commercial assays has highlighted the need for standardization of PCT measurements. An antibody-free candidate reference measurement procedure (RMP) based on the isotope dilution mass spectrometry and protein calibration approach was developed and validated to quantify PCT in human serum. The method allows quantification of PCT from 0.25 to 13.74 μg/L (R > 0.998) with extension up to 132 μg/L after dilution of samples with PCT concentration above 13.74 μg/L. Intraday bias was between −3.3 and +5.7%, and interday bias was between −3.0 and −0.7%. Intraday precision was below 5.1%, and interday precision was below 4.0%. The candidate RMP was successfully applied to the absolute quantification of PCT in five frozen human serum pools. A recombinant PCT used as a primary calibrator was characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry and amino acid analysis to establish traceability of the results to the SI units. This candidate RMP is fit to assign target values to secondary certified reference materials (CRMs) for further use in external quality assessment schemes to monitor the accuracy and comparability of the commercially available immunoassay results and to confirm the need for improving the harmonization of PCT assays. The candidate RMP will also be used to evaluate whether the correlation between the candidate RMP and immunoassays is sufficiently high. Overall, this candidate RMP will support reliable sepsis diagnosis and guide treatment decisions, patient monitoring, and outcomes.
