Purpose:
Antibodies are key reagents in the development of immunoassay. We attempted to develop high-performance
CPP
immunoassays using high-affinity monoclonal antibodies prepared via cytokine-assisted immunization.
Methods:
We used fetal liver tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L), CC subtype chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20), and
granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor
(
GM-CSF
) to assist traditional subcutaneous immunization of preparing high-affinity monoclonal antibodies, and further to develop high-performance immunoassay methods for
CPP
.
Results:
This novel immune strategy significantly enhanced immune response against
CPP
. Six anti-
CPP
monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with high affinity were successfully screened and selected for application in a fully automated magnetic chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). This robust and rapid assay can efficiently detect
CPP
in the range of 1.2-1250 pmol L
-1
with a detection limit of 6.25 pmol L
-1
. Significantly, the whole incubation process can be completed in 30 min as compared to about 4.5 hr for the control ELISA kit. Furthermore, this assay exhibited high sensitivity and specificity, low intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation (CVs < 15%). The developed assay was applied in the detection of
CPP
in 115 random serum samples and results showed a high correlation with data obtained using a commercially available ELISA kit (correlation coefficient, 0.9737).
Conclusion:
Our assay could be applied in the point-of-care testing of
CPP
in the serum samples, and also the method developed in this study could be adopted to explore the detection and diagnosis of other biomarkers for various diseases.
