Popis: | Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) is a rare, autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in SERPING1 gene leading to dysfunction/deficiency of C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) protein and subsequent dysregulation of the contact system and bradykinin overproduction. As functional C1-INH (fC1-INH) levels are reduced in HAE types I and II (HAE-I/II), a specific, sensitive and accessible rapid diagnostic method to quantitate fC1-INH is crucial in diagnosing HAE-I/II. Previously, we developed/validated methods to detect fC1-INH levels in human plasma based on functional binding to C1s or FXIIa for C1-INH-based therapies. Quantitative fC1-INH immunoassay methods were converted to the Lateral flow assay (LFA) platform after identifying the best reagent/s pair. The assay was developed and optimized as a first of its kind LFA method for quantifying fC1-INH in human plasma to aid HAE point-of-care diagnosis. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed using normal control and HAE subject plasma samples to calculate area-under-curve and a cut-off point to distinguish normal versus HAE subject samples. LFA data was correlated with the conventional diagnostic assay for fC1-INH in HAE plasma samples and profiles matched for individual subjects. Here, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept for the quantitative fC1-INH LFA using normal and HAE plasma samples. We propose that the method could be used as a point-of-care test to diagnose HAE in a variety of settings, such as, a hospital or physician's office, at home or in an ambulance. |
