  • Patent number: 12352756
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer program products for using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the analysis of endogenous biomarkers, such as PGD2, in a biological sample. More specifically, the methods, systems, and computer program products are described for detecting and quantifying the amount of an PGD2 in a sample. The quantitative analysis may be helpful in making clinical diagnoses.

  • Patent number: 12287346
    Abstract: Provided are methods of detecting the presence or amount of a vitamin D metabolite in a sample using mass spectrometry. The methods generally directed to ionizing a vitamin D metabolite in a sample and detecting the amount of the ion to determine the presence or amount of the vitamin D metabolite in the sample. Also provided are methods to detect the presence or amount of two or more vitamin D metabolites in a single assay.

  • Publication number: 20240410881
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for detection of an antibody or antibody fragment in a biological sample from a subject. In some embodiments, the methods comprise immobilizing a first binding agent on a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor; adding a ligand that binds to the first binding agent under conditions such that a complex of the ligand and the first binding agent is formed; adding an aliquot of the biological sample under conditions such that the antibody and/or antibody fragment binds to the ligand that is complexed to the first binding agent; and detecting the presence of the antibody and/or antibody fragment as a change in signal obtained from SPR. In some embodiments, the antibody is an antibody therapeutic such as certolizumab pegol. Also disclosed are systems and kits for detecting an antibody in a biological sample from a subject using SPR.

  • Publication number: 20240361344
    Abstract: Provided are methods of detecting the presence or amount of a dihydroxyvitamin D metabolite in a sample using mass spectrometry. The methods generally comprise ionizing a dihydroxyvitamin D metabolite in a sample and detecting the amount of the ion to determine the presence or amount of the vitamin D metabolite in the sample. In certain preferred embodiments the methods include immunopurifying the dihydroxyvitamin D metabolites prior to mass spectrometry. Also provided are methods to detect the presence or amount of two or more dihydroxyvitamin D metabolites in a single assay.
