Mycotoxin Analysis

The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance and usefulness of three rapid test kits for analysis of HT-2 and T-2 toxins (HT-2 and T-2), two of the most potent trichothecenes commonly found in European oats. Concentrations of these two toxins combined (HT-2+T-2) were analysed in naturally contaminated oat samples (n=68) using the following test kits: Ridascreen® FAST T-2 Toxin (‘Fast ELISA’), DRAFT Ridascreen® HT-2/T-2 (‘Standard ELISA’, not commercially available), and the lateral flow device ROSA® HT-2-T-2 (‘Rosa LFD’). Mycotoxin analysis by LC-MS/MS was used as a reference method. Rosa LFD offered the best reliability, achieving detection that was stable across toxin levels, whereas detection by both ELISA kits differed significantly among toxin levels (P<0.01). The kits were also evaluated regarding agreement with the reference method (measured as Cohen's kappa) at a HT-2+T-2 concentration of 1000 μg/kg in naturally contaminated oats. Agreement was greatest for Rosa LFD (89.2%), intermediate for Standard ELISA (66.8%), and lowest for Fast ELISA (62.2%). Rosa LFD showed cross-reaction of 100% with both T-2 and HT-2. For the ELISA kits, cross-reactions were 100% with T-2 but below 100% with HT-2. Therefore, to estimate the sum of HT-2 and T-2 in an oat sample, it was necessary to re-calculate the data from both ELISA kits according to the known cross-reaction of each kit with HT-2 and the concentration ratio of HT-2 to T-2 in Norwegian oats. Rosa LFD had the highest correlation with LC-MS/MS (R2=0.94), and the corresponding R2 values for Fast and Standard ELISA were 0.61 and 0.83, respectively. Rosa LFD was well suited for on-site detection. Standard ELISA allows simultaneous testing of several samples that are useful for centralised laboratories.

IntroductionNeutrophil elastase activity in sputum can identify patients at high risk of airway infection and exacerbations in bronchiectasis. Application of this biomarker in clinical practice is limited, because no point-of-care test is available. We tested whether a novel semi-quantitative lateral flow device (neutrophil elastase airway test stick – NEATstik®) can stratify bronchiectasis patients according to severity, airway infection and exacerbation risk.MethodsSputum samples from 124 patients with stable bronchiectasis enrolled in the UK and Spain were tested using the NEATstik®, which scores neutrophil elastase concentration from 0 (<8 µg·mL−1 elastase activity) to 10 (maximum detectable neutrophil elastase activity). High neutrophil elastase activity was regarded as a NEATstik® grade >6. Severity of disease, airway infection from sputum culture and exacerbations over the 12 months were recorded. An independent validation was conducted in 50 patients from Milan, Italy.Measurements and main resultsPatients had a median age of 69 years and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) 69%. High neutrophil elastase activity was associated with worse bronchiectasis severity using the bronchiectasis severity index (p=0.0007) and FEV1 (p=0.02). A high NEATstik® grade was associated with a significant increase in exacerbation frequency, incident rate ratio 2.75 (95% CI 1.63–4.64, p<0.001). The median time to next exacerbation for patients with a NEATstik® grade >6 was 103 days compared to 278 days. The hazard ratio was 2.59 (95% CI 1.71–3.94, p<0.001). Results were confirmed in the independent validation cohort.ConclusionsA novel lateral flow device provides assessment of neutrophil elastase activity from sputum in minutes and identifies patients at increasing risk of airway infection and future exacerbations.
