Test Principle: The LIAISON 1-84 PTH assay is a modified two-step, two-site sandwich assay that uses two polyclonal antibodies for capture and detection of the 1-84 PTH molecule. The assay uses 150 µL of human serum or EDTA plasma incubated with and isoluminol conjugated polyclonal antibody with high specificity for the N-terminus of the 1-84 peptide. Following incubation, paramagnetic particles coated with a second polyclonal antibody that binds to the C-terminal region of the 1-84 molecule are added to the reaction and incubated. The design of these antibodies is intended to detect the whole intact 1-84 PTH with no cross reactivity to fragments such as the 7-84 PTH fragment. After the second incubation, the unbound material is removed with a wash cycle. The starter reagents are then added and a flash chemiluminescent reaction is initiated. The light signal is measured by a photomultiplier as relative light units (RLU) and is proportional to the concentration of 1-84 PTH present in the calibrators, controls or samples. M.

Linearity/assay reportable range: One sample pool of each sample type, serum and EDTA plasma, was spiked with PTH 1-84 to achieve PTH levels above the measuring range of the assay and then was diluted with a low patient sample of the same sample type to obtain intermediate PTH concentrations. The low sample was further diluted with specimen diluent which contains no PTH to levels near the claimed LoQ of the assay. Each of the resulting 19 concentrations, ranging from 0.3-2044 pg/mL for EDTA and 0.2-1802 pg/mL for serum, were analyzed by the LIAISON 1-84 PTH Assay in replicates of three. The results were analyzed by a regression of observed mean PTH concentration versus expected PTH concentration. The resulting equations for each sample type are shown below: Serum: $y = 0.9992x - 0.0835$ , $R^2 = 0.9976$ EDTA plasma: $y = 0.9679x - 3.328$ , $R^2 = 0.9971$ The linearity results for both serum and EDTA plasma support the claimed measuring range of this assay (4.0-1800 pg/mL). ## c.

Potential cross reactants, each at a concentration of $200,000~\mathrm{pg / mL}$ , were spiked into LIAISON1-84 PTH Specimen Diluent (horse serum-based zero sample) and tested. The PTH fragments were tested in triplicate using one lot of reagent; and the calcitonin, osteocalcin, and C-telopeptide cross-reactants were tested in quadruplicate with a different kit lot of the assay. The equation used to calculate $\%$ cross reactivity is as follows: (Mean conc. of spiked sample - Mean conc. of the original sample) X 100 Spiked Concentrations The following table summarizes the cross-reactivity of PTH fragments and structurally similar proteins with the LIAISON 1-84 PTH assay: | Substance | Spiked concentration | % Cross Reactivity | | --- | --- | --- | | hPTH 7-84 | 200,000 pg/mL | 0.00105% | | hPTH 1-34 | 200,000 pg/mL | 0.00005% | | hPTH 13-34 | 200,000 pg/mL | 0.00020% | | hPTH 39-68 | 200,000 pg/mL | 0.00090% | | hPTH 44-68 | 200,000 pg/mL | 0.00055% | | hPTH 39-84 | 200,000 pg/mL | 0.00050% | | Calcitonin | 200,000 pg/mL | 0.00008% | | Osteocalcin | 200,000 pg/mL | 0.00005% | | C-Telopeptide (β-crosslaps) | 200,000 pg/mL | 0.00001% | | C-Tolopentadiene | 200,000 pg/mL | 0.000005% | | C-Tolopentadienoate | 200,000 pg/mL | 0.000001% | | C-Tolopentadienoate 1,4-dioxane | 200,000 pg/mL | 0.0000005% | | C-Tolopentadienoate 1,4-dioxane 2,4-dioxane | 200,000 pg/mL | 0.0000001% | | C-Tolopentadienoate 2,4-dioxane 2,4-dioxane 2,4-dioxane | 200,000 pg/mL | 0.00000005% | | C-Tolopentadienoate 2,4-dioxane 2,4-dioxane | 200,000 pg/mL | 0.000000005% | {11} Hook Effect Study: Testing was performed to determine if the LIAISON 1-84 PTH Assay is susceptible to falsely low results in the presence of very high levels of PTH.

The samples tested consisted of 186 native EDTA plasma samples and 7 spiked samples for a total of 193 samples. The mean of duplicate results for the comparator assay, Scantibodies Laboratory Whole PTH (1-84) Specific, and singlicate results for the LIAISON 1-84 PTH Assay were compared. Passing and Bablok linear regression analyses were performed and the following results were obtained: LIASON 1-84 PTH Assay vs. Scantibodies Laboratory Whole PTH (1-84) Specific | n | Slope | 95% CI | Intercept | 95% CI | r | Result range (pg/mL) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 193 | 0.9810 | 0.9497-1.0204 | -2.23 | -5.29 to -0.61 | 0.9812 | 6.3-1707 | b. Matrix comparison: A matrix comparison study was performed on 188 matched human sample sets of EDTA plasma and serum. A total of 8 samples were spiked in order to span the claimed measuring range. Each sample type was tested in singlicate using one reagent lot. The matrix comparison analysis resulted in the following equation: $$ y = 1.05x + 0.14 \left( y = \text{serum}, x = \text{EDTA plasma} \right), R^2 = 0.9981 $$ The study supports EDTA plasma and serum sample types for use with the LIAISON 1-84 PTH assay. The sponsor includes the following limitation regarding sample type in the assay {12} package insert: "The type of specimen used (serum or EDTA plasma) may influence PTH measurements. During routine monitoring of PTH levels, use the same specimen type throughout the monitoring period to avoid bias in the results." 3. Clinical studies: a. Clinical Sensitivity: Not applicable b.
