Q

Specimen processing: free drug measurement when and why?
-4 points

A
  1. meausremnt of serum drug concetration may be misleading fro highly;y protein bound drugs
  2. under conditions of uremie, liver disease and hypoalbuminemia, free drug levels may be high however the drug levels are in therapeutic range
  3. drug -drug interaction may lead to increased free drug levels
  4. in elderly they have hypoalbunemic so increased free drug concentration

Q

cons of free-drug measuring (3)

A
  1. more costly and lower accuracy
  2. more time and resources (highly sensitive to temp, ph)
  3. thought to be similar to Total drug levels as long as free drug levels don’t vary much between people

Q

Immunoassay methods vs chromatography method

A

Immunoassay
- less labor entensive and faster turn around
- limited by lack of spcificay between parent drug and metabolite (potential false positive) and cross-reactivity with similar drugs
- susceptible to interfere by bilirubin and lipedemmia, hemoglobin, paraproetins and heterophiloc antibodies

Chromatogprhy
- liquid chromotpgarhy - tandem mass chemtogaprhy can simultaneously analyse multiple drugs in a single assay
- typically higher specificity for the drug

Q

Immunoassays pros and cons

A

pros
- rapid
- sensitive
- loe cost
- small sample size
- mainly vis plasma or serum

cons
- major concern is antibody specificity

Q

Propeties of an antibody- antigen bond

A
  • non-cavalent
  • reversible
  • intermolecualr focres (hydrongen bonding, ionic bonding, hydrophobic interactions, van der wall forces)

23
Q

whats provides specificalty to antibody and antigens interactions?

A

amino acid residues

24
Q

Antobody affinity in equilibrium. process

A

Ag + Ab reverisble AB X AG

Ka = (ABxAG)/(Ab=Ag)

25
Q

Immunassays use monclonal or polyclonanle antobodies?

A

both

26
Q

What is a monclonald antibody

A

population os antibodies that recognize antigen at several epitopes

27
Q

what is a polyclonal antibody

A

population of antibodies that recognize target antigen at a single epitope

28
Q

where do the labels used in ummunoassay go?

A

on the analogue of the target or the antibody

29
Q

what kind of labels are there?

A

Enzymatic or non-enzymatic

30
Q

what kind of immunoassay do we have?

A
  1. competitive
    - measures small molecules
    - uses single antibody but competes with labeled analogue of the target compound
  2. immunometric
    - measure larger molecules
    - uses two antibodies and formed a sandwich with the target ( labeled antibody and captured antibody)
31
Q

what are drug assay commenly?

A

competive immunoassay

32
Q

describe how a PETINA works

A
  • uses light sacttering to measure drug levls
  • if bound more tubity
  • of unbound less turbity
33
Q

features of chromatogrpahy

A
  • less common
  • used when immunoassay not availble
  • less rapid
  • sample requirement variable
  • serum, plasma and blood
34
Q

why do we sue chromatogrphy?

A

for separtaion of compounds for MS meaudrmenst

35
Q

different type of chromatogrohay

A
  1. gass chormatogprhy
    - votalaity of gases
  2. liquid chromatography
    - polarity of substances
36
Q

sensitivity of glass chromatography depends on what?

A

the detector

37
Q

Big advantage of chromatography

A

multiplexing

38
Q

Where do therapeutic drug ranges come from?

A

usually RCTS

39
Q

what are the analytical factors impacting TDM results?

A
  1. method selctivity for target drug vs metabolites
  2. method reproducibility
  3. avaialibily of pure satdnard reference materials
  4. interfering substances in the sample
40
Q

what are common types of error

Systematic error and random error

41
Q

what can systemcatis and random error lead to?
