An immunoaffinity liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay for detection of endogenous aggrecan fragments in biological fluids: Use as a biomarker for aggrecanase activity and cartilage degradation
Abstract
The degradation of articular cartilage by aggrecanases (ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5) plays a significant role in the pathology of osteoarthritis (OA). To monitor aggrecanase activity in OA, we have developed a sensitive, accurate, and versatile assay for detection of two specific cleavage sites on aggrecan. The assay uses an immunoaffinity-based liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method to detect cleavage at the 374ARGS site and...
