Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of measuring vitamin D or a metabolite of vitamin D present in a sample, to an exposure reagent which can be used in such a method and to a kit which can be used for carrying out such a method.
- vitamin D 3 The physiological form of vitamin D in the human body is vitamin D 3 (cholecalciferol) .
- the most important derivatives of vitamin D 3 are 25OHD 3 (25-hydroxy vitamin D 3 , or calcidiol) and l ⁇ , 25 (OH) 2 D 3 ( l ⁇ , 25-dihydroxy-cholecalciferol, or calcitriol) .
- the primary source of vitamin D 3 is skin where 7- dehydrocholesterol is converted to previtamin D 3 on exposure to ultraviolet radiation (mainly sunlight) and further converted to vitamin D 3 .
- a further source of vitamin D 3 is food.
- Fatty fish such as herring, salmon and tuna are rich in vitamin D 3 .
- vitamin D 2 calciferol or ergocalciferol
- Vitamin D 2 and vitamin D 3 supplements are other important sources for keeping sufficient vitamin D in the body.
- Vitamin D is transported through the lymphatic system into the liver bound to vitamin D binding proteins (DBP) , also known as group-specific component or Gc-globulin.
- DBP vitamin D binding proteins
- Gc-globulin group-specific component
- DBP is a multifunctional plasma protein and a member of the albumin gene family. It binds to vitamin D, its metabolites, and fatty acids .
- Vitamin D undergoes hydroxylation on C-25 in the liver, a reaction catalysed by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes.
- 25OHD is the major metabolic species in circulation, and its concentration in serum is used as an indication of vitamin D status in humans .
- Vitamin D is biotransformed into the active form 1,25(OH) 2 D (mainly from 25OHD) . This transformation takes place in the kidneys and in extra-renal tissues.
- Vitamin D is essential for normal bone structure and the maintenance of blood and cellular calcium.
- the biologically active metabolite 1,25(OH) 2 D is involved in gene transcription and cell function in multiple tissues.
- Severe vitamin D deficiency has been identified as the most common aetiology of rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. The prevalence of mild-to-moderate vitamin D deficiency is very high and increases with age. The pathogenetic role of an insufficient vitamin D supply as an important risk factor for osteoporosis was provided by the results of the first large, placebo-controlled, intervention study showing a significant reduction in nonvertebral fractures after 18 months of supplementation with 800 IU (International Units; 800 IU is equivalent to 20 ⁇ g of
- Vitamin D of vitamin D and 1200 mg of calcium in vitamin D- deficient elderly women.
- Vitamin D and its metabolites have been determined both by chromatographic procedures (in particular HPLC, which is considered the gold standard) and immunoassays.
- chromatographic procedures in particular HPLC, which is considered the gold standard
- immunoassays For accurate determination via immunoassays vitamin D and its metabolites must not be in the usual DBP-bound form, but must be exposed. This can be achieved by a variety of techniques including precipitation of DBP by organic solvents (e.g. ethanol or methanol), and liquid-liquid organic extraction (e.g. chloroform-methanol followed by phase separation using chloroform and water, or methanol and hexane) .
- organic solvents e.g. ethanol or methanol
- liquid-liquid organic extraction e.g. chloroform-methanol followed by phase separation using chloroform and water, or methanol and hexane
- an exposure agent which allows the immunoassay to be conducted without an initial separation step to remove the DBP and exposure agent from the vitamin D containing sample to be analysed.
- An assay wherein no such separation step is required is referred to as a "direct" assay.
- US7087395 discloses methods for determining vitamin D metabolites using a releasing composition, in particular aqueous bases, e.g. NaOH and KOH, cyclo-oligomer components, e.g. cyclodextrin, a metal salicylate, e.g. sodium salicylate, and surfactant.
- a releasing composition in particular aqueous bases, e.g. NaOH and KOH, cyclo-oligomer components, e.g. cyclodextrin, a metal salicylate, e.g. sodium salicylate, and surfactant.
- the releasing composition comprises 0.1-1.0 M NaOH, 0.01-5% beta- randomly methylated cyclodextrin, and 0.01-5% sodium salicylate with a pH of about 13.
