Summary

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) offers a sensitive and reproducible method for quantifying chromogranin A (CgA) levels. This label-free technique validates CgA detection, overcoming limitations of traditional assays for neuroendocrine tumor biomarkers.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Chromogranin A (CgA) is a crucial biomarker for neuroendocrine tumors and other conditions.
  • Existing CgA detection methods are costly, time-consuming, and lack reproducibility.
  • There is a need for a more efficient and reliable CgA quantification technique.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate surface plasmon resonance (SPR) as a method for quantifying CgA.
  • To optimize SPR conditions for sensitive and reproducible CgA detection.
  • To compare the performance of SPR with traditional methods like ELISA.

Main Methods:

  • Immobilization of CgA antibody (CgA-Ab) onto a CM5 sensor chip (CgA-Ab-CM5).
  • Optimization of binding (240 s, 30 μL/min) and regeneration (pH 1.75) conditions.
  • Quantification of varying CgA concentrations using the optimized SPR assay.

Main Results:

  • The SPR method achieved a linear detection range of 0.2-187 ng/mL for CgA.
  • This range is significantly broader and more sensitive than the 23.4-187 ng/mL range of ELISA.
  • The CgA-Ab-CM5 chip demonstrated high reproducibility over 300 binding-regeneration cycles.

Conclusions:

  • SPR is a highly sensitive and reliable technique for real-time CgA quantification.
  • The validated SPR-based CgA-Ab-CM5 chip offers a significant improvement over conventional methods.
  • This method holds promise for improved diagnostics and monitoring of CgA-related diseases.
