Increasing the sensitivity of Simoa via bead count reduction facilitates the quantification of pTau‐181 in dried plasma spots

Résumé

Introduction The exclusion of affected populations from Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical research limits our understanding of disease heterogeneity and its impact on clinical care. While micro sampling with dried plasma spots (DPS) can promote inclusivity by enabling sample collection in remote areas, current techniques lack the sensitivity required for the quantification of phosphorylated tau at Thr181 (pTau‐181) in DPS extracts. Methods We developed an assay for pTau‐181 with reduced bead count and improved bead read efficiency (BRE) using a prototype Simoa instrument. This novel assay's performance was evaluated against standard pTau‐181 assays on two Simoa platforms, and DPS extracts were tested for pTau‐181 quantification feasibility. Results The novel assay quantifies pTau‐181 at concentrations up to 16x lower than traditional pTau‐181 assays on HD‐X and SR‐X platforms. DPS extracts tested with our low‐bead assay were quantified considerably above the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), indicating the suitability of this assay for future DPS extract measurements. Discussion Implementing DPS sampling and pTau‐181 quantification could increase participation from underrepresented groups in AD research. However, additional assay optimization and an in‐depth study of preanalytical sample stability are essential for the transition to clinical applicability.
