Judit Oldekamp, Cornelia Eichner 2009 Elecsys Testosterone II Technical Performance of Elecsys Testosterone II

Testosterone Background I Current immunoassays for testosterone seem to over-estimate testosterone in the female matrix. The effect is variable and cannot be predicted for any given sample: Inaccurate calibration or interference by cross-reacting substances is almost certainly the cause of the problem, but for many immunoassays, the exact nature of the interferent is not known 1. A second generation Elecsys Testosterone II immunoassay was developed to improve the recovery of testosterone if compared to Isotope Dilution Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (ID-GC/MS) reference method. Elecsys Testosterone II uses a new high affinity sheep monoclonal testosterone antibody: Significantly reduced matrix effects and reduced interference by cross-reacting substances. 1 Kane et al 2007, Measurement of serum Testosterone in women, what should we do?, Clinical Biochem; 44: 5-15 2

Testosterone Background II The new assay shows a significant improved accuracy in female samples. In addition, cross-reactivity to Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS) is reduced. The assay demonstrates a good correlation with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and provides excellent imprecision and functional sensitivity data. Average value of female testosterone samples (in line with LC-MS/MS) shows approx. 30% negative bias if compared to current Elecsys Testosterone immunoassays. On the other hand, there is no significant change in male testosterone values. 3

Testosterone General I The androgen testosterone (17 -hydroxyandrostenone) has a molecular weight of 288 Daltons. Most of the circulating testosterone is bound to the carrier proteins (SHBG = sex hormone-binding globulin) and albumin. Testosterone 4

Testosterone General II - men In men, testosterone is synthesized almost exclusively by the Leydig cells of the testes. The secretion of testosterone is regulated by luteinizing hormone (LH), and is subject to negative feedback via the pituitary and hypothalamus. Testosterone promotes the development of the secondary sex characteristics in men and serves to maintain the function of the prostate and seminal vesicles. Testosterone is determined in men when reduced testosterone production is suspected, e.g. in hypogonadism, estrogen therapy, chromosome aberrations (as in the Klinefelter s syndrome) and liver cirrhosis. 5

Testosterone General III - women In women, small quantities of testosterone are formed in the ovaries from adrenal precursors. In physiological concentrations, androgens appear to be necessary to induce libido in women. Increased production of testosterone in women can cause virilization (depending on the increase of the Testosterone level). The determination of testosterone in women is helpful in the diagnosis of andrenogenital syndrome (AGS), polycystic ovaries (Stein-Leventhal syndrome) and when an ovarian tumor, adrenal tumor, adrenal hyperplasia or ovarian insufficiency is suspected. 6

Elecsys Testosterone II - Reagent handling Reagent rackpack (ready for use) Calibrators: Dissolve carefully by adding exactly 1.0 ml of distilled water, Mix carefully, avoid formation of foam. Reconstitute for 15 min. Transfer aliquots of the calibrators into empty labeled snap-cap bottles (CalSet Vials). Attach the supplied labels. Store immediately at -20 C. Controls: Dissolve carefully by adding exactly 1.0 ml of distilled water, Mix carefully, avoid formation of foam. Reconstitute for 15 min. Transfer aliquots of the controls into appropriate vials. Store immediately at 20 C. Calibrators and Controls: Perform only one calibration or control procedure per aliquot. Stability at -20 C: 4 weeks (freeze only once). 9

Elecsys Testosterone II - Test principle I Competition principle. Total duration of assay: 18 minutes. 1st incubation: 20 μl of sample are incubated with a biotinylated high affinity monoclonal testosterone-specific antibody (sheep). The binding sites of the labeled antibody become occupied by the sample analyte (depending on its concentration). 2nd incubation: Streptavidin-coated microparticles and a testosterone derivative labeled with a ruthenium complex are added. Still free binding sites are occupied by the labeled conjugate. The entire complex becomes bound to the solid phase via interaction of biotin and streptavidin. Measurement: The reaction mixture is aspirated into the measuring cell where the microparticles are magnetically captured onto the surface of the electrode. Unbound substances are then removed with ProCell. Application of a voltage to the electrode then induces chemiluminescent emission which is measured by a photomultiplier. 10
