Lateral flow assay typically has a control line to confirm that the test is working properly, along with one or more target or test lines. They can be qualitative and read visually, or quantitative when combined with reader technology, such as Although a “competitive assay” could be adapted for use herein (e.g., by utilization of an enrichment method such as centrifugation to increase the sensitivity of detection) , sandwich (or “non-competitive” ) assays are typically preferred for use herein.
- non-competitive immunoassay typically the presence of a colored line at the test line indicates a positive test.
- a non-competitive immunoassay is ideal for large molecular weight analytes with multiple antigenic sites.
- non-competitive immunoassays have a lower limit of detection (higher analysis sensitivity) compared to a competitive format.
- non-competitive immunoassays can detect on the order of picograms/mL in comparison to nanograms/mL for competitive assays.
- Lateral flow devices typically utilize immunoassay technology with a nitrocellulose membrane, colored latex nanoparticles (or labels such as magnetic beads or colored styrene balls) , and antibodies, for quick analysis.
- a sample from a PDE is added to the lateral flow device, the sample flows along the test device passing through a conjugate pad into a nitrocellulose membrane and then onto an absorbent pad to absorb excess sample.
- the sample pad acts as the first stage of the absorption process, and in some cases contains a filter to ensure the accurate and controlled flow of the sample.
- the conjugate pad which stores the conjugated labels and antibodies, receives the sample. If the target is present, the immobilized conjugated antibodies and labels bind to the target and continue to migrate along the test.
- the binding reagents situated on the nitrocellulose membrane bind to the target at the test line.
- a colored line forms and the density of the line varies depending on the quantity of the target present.
- Some targets may require quantification to determine the target concentration such as by using a reader.

- KD refers to the dissociation equilibrium constant of a specific antibody-antigen interaction, which describes the binding affinity between the antibody and the antigen. The smaller the dissociation equilibrium constant, the tighter the antibody-antigen binding, and the higher the affinity between the antibody and the antigen.
- an antibody that specifically binds to a certain antigen means that the antibody binds to the antigen with a KD of less than about 10 -8 M, for example, less than about 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M, 10 -10 M, 10 -11 M or even less.

- peritonitis in patients are diagnosed when at least 2 of the following are present: (1) clinical features consistent with peritonitis, i.e. abdominal pain and/or cloudy dialysis effluent; (2) dialysis effluent white cell count > 100/ ⁇ L or > 0.1 ⁇ 10 9 /L (after a dwell time of at least 2 hours) with > 50%polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) ; and (3) positive dialysis effluent culture.
- Peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients were diagnosed according to the above criteria.
- Peritoneal dialysis includes two types, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and automatic peritoneal dialysis (APD) .
- CAPD continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
- APD automatic peritoneal dialysis
- the subjects were subject to peritoneal dialysis by using the volume of peritoneal dialysis solution as prescribed every several hours.
- peritoneal dialysis was performed according to the ISPD guidelines (ISPD GUIDELINES/RECOMMENDATIONS, Peritoneal Dialysis International, Vol. 36, pp. 481–508) .
- IL-6 and NGAL total NGALs, including the monomer, homodimer and heterodimer forms
- H-NGAL, IL-6 and NGAL total NGALs, including the monomer, homodimer and heterodimer forms
- H-NGAL 500 pg/mL
- sensitivity of 98.18%, specificity of 96.08%) and detection ( "AND” ) of both H-NGAL (500 pg/mL) and IL-6 (200 pg/mL) showed high sensitivity and specificity.
- the cutoff value for total NGAL is determined as 120 ng/mL, that for IL-6 as 200 pg/mL, and that for H-NGAL as 500 pg/mL.
- H-NGAL 500 pg/mL
- sensitivity of 98.18%, specificity of 96.08%) and detection of both H-NGAL (500 pg/mL) and IL-6 (200 pg/mL) ( "AND” ) sensitivity of 98.18%, specificity of 97.87%) showed high sensitivity and specificity.
- Example 2 According to the methods of Example 2, further diagnosis and assay of peritonitis were performed. The results are shown in the following tables.
- Example 4 Different methods or reagents were compared and analyzed with clinical diagnosis results
- peritonitis in patients are diagnosed when at least 2 of the following are present: (1) clinical features consistent with peritonitis, i.e. abdominal pain and/or cloudy dialysis effluent; (2) dialysis effluent white cell count > 100/ ⁇ L or > 0.1 ⁇ 10 9 /L (after a dwell time of at least 2 hours) with > 50%polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) ; and (3) positive dialysis effluent culture.
- WBC counting was considered as positive if the dialysis effluent white cell count ⁇ 100 cells/ ⁇ L with > 50%polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) , and as negative if the dialysis effluent white cell count ⁇ 100 cells/ ⁇ l, after a dwell time of at least 2 hours.
- PMN polymorphonuclear leukocytes
- the IL-6 testing and the H-NGAL testing were carried out as in the Example 2.
- table 6 Four-table analysis of table 6 was used for qualitative product statistical analysis, and sensitivity and specificity are calculated as follows. According to the results as shown in the following tables, the WBC counting and H-NGAL testing are very close in the performance, and there is a potential to replace WBC counting by H-NGAL testing.
- Sensitivity a/ (a+ c) ⁇ 100%, 95%confidence interval
- Table 7 WBC count and Clinical diagnosis analysis
- Table 8 H-NGAL (500pg/ml) POCT prototype and Clinical diagnosis analysis
