All CSF samples were collected by lumbar puncture in the L3/L4 or the L4/L5 inter-space, in the morning. The first 12 mL of CSF were collected in a polypropylene tube and immediately transported to the local laboratory and centrifuged (10 min at 1800g at + 20 °C). The supernatant was gently mixed to avoid possible gradient effects, aliquoted in polypropylene tubes, and stored at − 80 °C. CSF t-tau and p-tau concentrations were measured using ELISA (INNOTEST® htau Ag and PHOSPHO_TAU (181P), Fujirebio) as previously described [13 (link), 43 (link)]. CSF Aβ1-42 was measured using an ELISA (INNOTEST® Aβ1-42), specifically constructed to measure Aβ starting at amino acid 1 and ending at amino acid 42 [6 (link)].

CSF t-tau and p-tau (tau phosphorylated at threonine 181) concentrations were measured with sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) (INNOTEST htau Ag and PHOSPHO_TAU [181P], Fujirebio [formerly Innogenetics], Ghent, Belgium) (22 (link),23 (link)). CSF Aβ42 was measured with a sandwich ELISA (INNOTEST Aβ1–42) specifically constructed to measure Aβ starting at amino acid 1 and ending at amino acid 42 (24 (link)). For NfL, an in-house sandwich ELISA with capture and detection antibodies that were directed against the central rod domain of the protein (NfL 21 and NfL 23, respectively) was used (25 (link)). An in-house ELISA method (26 (link)) was used to measure CSF Ng.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers Analysis

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were collected in the morning through LP in L3/L4 or L4/L5 interspaces. A total of 10 ml of CSF was collected in a polypropylene tube and immediately transported to the laboratory and centrifuged at 1 800g at 20° C. The supernatant was gently mixed to avoid possible gradient effects, aliquoted in polypropylene tubes, and stored at −70° C. CSF phosphorylated tau at threonine 181 (p-tau) concentrations were determined using sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (INNOTEST htau Ag and PHOSPHO_TAU (181P; Fujirebio, Ghent, Belgium) (40 (link)). We used the CSF Aβ42/40 ratio as a biomarker of amyloid-beta pathology. The CSF Aβ42/40 ratio was obtained using the V-PLEX Aβ peptide Panel 1 (6E10) kit (Meso Scale Discovery, Rockville, MD) (41 (link)). This variable was treated continuously in the main analyses. To characterize the sample, following Samuelsson et al. (42 (link)) we classified CSF p-tau and Aβ42/40 values into positive and negative using the following cutoff values: ≥80 pg/mL for p-tau and ≤0.082 for Aβ42/40. The APOE-ε4 allele was determined using the KASPar PCR SNP genotyping system (LGC Genomics, Hoddesdon, Herts, UK) as described by Skoog et al. (43 (link)) To characterize the sample, participants were classified as APOE-ε4 carriers if they had at least 1 ε4 allele.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarker Analysis

At baseline, participants were invited to complete an optional fasting
lumbar puncture procedure. CSF was collected with polypropylene syringes using a
Sprotte 25-gauge spinal needle in an intervertebral lumbar space. Samples were
immediately mixed and centrifuged, and supernatants were aliquoted in 0.5mL
polypropylene tubes and stored at −80°C. Samples were analyzed
in batch using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays
(Fujirebio, Ghent, Belgium) to determine the levels of Aβ42(INNOTEST® β-AMYLOID(1-42)),
p-tau* (INNOTEST® PHOSPHO-TAU(181P)), and
t-tau (INNOTEST® hTAU). P-tau was measured by tagging a tau
phosphorylation site at amino acid Thr181. This form of phosphorylated tau
appears most specific to AD and correlates with tangle pathology (Buerger et al., 2006 (link); Seppala et al., 2012 (link)). NFL was measured using a commercially
available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Uman Diagnostics). Board-certified
laboratory technicians processed data blinded to clinical information, as
previously described (Palmqvist et al.,
2014
). Intra-assay coefficients of variation were <10
percent.

Standardized Biomarker Sampling and Analysis

Fasting CSF samples for the Wisconsin ADRC cohorts and WRAP were collected via lumbar puncture13 following the same protocol and by the same group of well‐trained individuals.13 Samples were sent together in two batches to the lab of Drs. Blennow and Zetterberg in Sweden, where commercially available enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods were used to quantify CSF t‐tau, p‐tau, and amyloid beta 1‐42 (Aβ42; INNOTEST assays HTAU AG, PHOSPHO‐TAU[181P], and Aβ1‐42, respectively; Fujirebio).13 The batch‐adjusted predicted values for CSF biomarkers were used for all analyses.17In WRAP, fasting blood samples were collected in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) tubes; the plasma was pipetted off within 1 hour of collection and stored at –80°C.12 A total of 141 longitudinal samples from 123 individuals in WRAP with plasma metabolites were available for the main analysis. In the Wisconsin ADRC, blood samples were collected in heparin tubes, which could influence metabolite values; as such, plasma metabolomics data have not been generated in Wisconsin ADRC blood samples. Further details of how plasma and CSF samples were processed are explained in an earlier study.12

A subset of individuals (155 participants) completed an optional morning fasting lumbar puncture. CSF was collected with polypropylene syringes using a Sprotte 25-gauge spinal needle in the L3/L4 or L4/L5 intervertebral lumbar space. Samples were immediately mixed and centrifuged, and supernatants were aliquoted in 0.5 mL polypropylene tubes and stored at −80 °C. Samples were analyzed in batch using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (Fujirebio, Ghent, Belgium) to determine the levels of Aβ1–42 (INNOTEST® β-AMYLOID(1–42)), total tau (INNOTEST® hTAU), and tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (P-tau; INNOTEST® PHOSPHO-TAU(181P)). NFL was measured using a commercially available ELISA (UmanDiagnostics). Processing was completed by board-certified laboratory technicians who were blinded to clinical information (Palmqvist et al., 2014 (link)). Intraassay coefficients of variation were <10%.

All patients underwent lumbar puncture between 8:00 and 10:00 am to avoid variations related to the circadian rhythm. Samples were collected in polypropylene tubes, centrifuged at 2000 × g for 10 min at 4°C and stored at −80°C until use. The levels of CSF Aβ42 (Innotest® β-Amyloid (1-42)), t-tau (Innotest® hTAU Ag) and p-tau (Innotest® Phospho-Tau (181P)) were determined by the enzyme immunoassay method according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Fujirebio Europe, Ghent, Belgium). All samples were measured in duplicate and expressed in pg/ml. Samples were obtained with support from IRBLleida Biobank (B.0000682) and PLATAFORMA BIOBANCOS PT17/0015/0027.

CSF collection and processing methods are described elsewhere (Niemantsverdriet et al., 2017 (link)). CSF concentrations of Aβ1–42, Aβ1–40, T-tau, and P-tau181 were determined with commercially available single-analyte ELISA (INNOTEST® β-AMYLOID(1–42), β-AMYLOID(1–40), hTAU-Ag, and PHOSPHO-TAU(181P), respectively; Fujirebio Europe) as routinely performed in the BIODEM lab (Somers et al., 2016 (link)). The laboratory technician performing the biomarker analyses was blinded to clinical diagnosis. In addition, the Aβ1–42/Aβ1–40, Aβ1–42/T-tau, and Aβ1–42/P-tau181 ratios were calculated. CSF biomarker results were not included in the consensus clinical diagnosis made by the panel.

CSF Biomarker Quantification Protocol

CSF was obtained by lumbar puncture between L3/4, L4/5, or L5/S1 intervertebral space, using a 25-gauge needle and a syringe [36 ]. The samples were collected in polypropylene microtubes and centrifuged at 1800g for 10 min at 4 °C. Thereafter, the samples were frozen at − 20 °C until manual analyses of Ab42, tau, and p-tau were performed using sandwich ELISAs [Innotest assays: β-amyloid1-42, tTAU-Ag, and PhosphoTAU-181p; Fujirebio (formerly Innogenetics)] at the Neurochemistry Laboratory of the Department of Clinical Chemistry of VUmc. As the median CSF Aβ42 values of our cohort have been gradually increasing over the years [37 (link)], we determined CSF amyloid-β status using Aβ42 values that had been adjusted for the longitudinal upward drift. We used a uniform cut-off of 813 pg/mL to dichotomize CSF data [38 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
