CSF samples were collected by LP at the L3/L4 or L4/L5 interspace with a 22gx90mm Sprotte™ needle, by an experienced neurologist. The needle type was chosen to minimize the risk of post-LP headache [5 (link)]. Sampling was performed between 8 and 9 am 3 days apart. A total of 10–12 mL of CSF was collected in polypropylene tubes, centrifuged at 1300g for 10 min, aliquoted and stored in 0.5 mL aliquots at − 80 °C pending analysis within 1 h after sampling.
CSF Aβ38, Aβ40 and Aβ42 concentrations were measured using MSD Abeta Triplex (Meso Scale Discovery, Rockville, Maryland). CSF total tau (T-tau) and phosphorylated tau (P-tau) concentrations were measured using INNOTEST sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs, Fujirebio, Ghent, Belgium). CSF neurofilament light (NF-L) concentration was measured using the NF-Light ELISA (UmanDiagnostics, Umeå, Sweden). CSF YKL-40 (also called chitinase 3-like 1) concentration was measured using the Human Chitinase 3-like 1 Quantikine ELISA Kit (R&D Systems, Inc. Minneapolis, MN). CSF glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) concentration was measured using an in-house ELISA [6 (link)]. All measurements were performed in one round of experiments with one batch of reagents and baseline and follow-up samples side by side on the assay plates by board-certified laboratory technicians who were blinded to clinical data.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CSF YKL-40 concentration was measured using a solid-phase sandwich ELISA (Human Chitinase 3-like 1 Quantikine ELISA kit, R&D Systems, Oxon, UK) according to the manufacturer's protocol: 50 μL of CSF was diluted 2-fold in diluent provided with the kit. Calibrators and controls were prepared according to protocol.
On a capture-antibody precoated 96-well microtiter plate, 50 μL of CSF sample, calibrator, or controls were added followed by addition of 200 μL of conjugate and incubation at room temperature for 2 hours. Finally, each well was washed in the provided washing buffer, followed by addition of 200 μL substrate solution, and subsequently stopped with 50 μL of the provided stop solution. Quantification was carried out at 540/570 nm in a microplate reader.
All biochemical measurements were performed by board-certified laboratory technicians who were blinded to clinical information. The measurements were performed in one round of experiments using one batch of reagents. Intra-assay coefficients of variation were below 10%.

Eight ml of ventricular CSF was collected during the surgical intervention, immediately after shunt insertion and a discard of the first 2 ml. All CSF analyses were performed at the Neurochemistry Laboratory at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, by board-certified laboratory technicians who were blinded to clinical data. Aβ-related biomarkers (Aβ40, Aβ42, sAPPα and sAPPβ) and MCP1 were analyzed by electrochemiluminescence assays (Meso Scale Discovery, Rockville, MD, USA). Validated in-house ELISA methodology was used to analyze NfL [19 (link)), neurogranin [15 (link)), GAP43 [20 (link)) and GFAP [21 (link)), whereas CSF levels of T-tau, and P-tau were measured using commercially available Lumipulse technology (Fujirebio, Ghent, Belgium), as previously described [22 (link)]. YKL-40 was measured using Human Chitinase 3-like 1 Quantikine ELISA Kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) [22 (link)]. All concentrations are given in ng/L. All samples were analyzed in one round of experiments using one batch of reagents by board-certified laboratory technicians who were blinded to clinical data. Intra-assay coefficients of variation, monitored using internal quality control samples in the beginning and end of each run, were below 10%.

CSF samples were obtained by lumbar puncture in the L3/L4 or L4/L5 interspace with patients nonfasting. The samples were collected in polypropylene tubes and gently mixed to avoid gradient effects. All samples were centrifuged within 30 minutes at + 4°C at 2000g for 10 minutes to remove cells and debris and then stored in aliquots at −80°C pending biochemical analysis.
CSF Aβ42, tau, and P‐tau were analyzed using AlzBio3 (Fujirebio, Ghent, Belgium), NFL was analysed using the NF‐light assay (UmanDiagnostics, Umeå, Sweden), YKL‐40 was analyzed using the Human Chitinase 3‐like 1 Quantikine ELISA Kit (R&D, Minneapolis, Minnesota), α‐syn was analyzed using the Covance assay (Covance, Dedham, Massachusetts), and haemoglobin was analyzed with an assay provided by Bethyl Lab, Inc. (Montgomery, Texas). For α‐syn, only samples with haemoglobin <200 ng/ml were used; consequently, 4 samples from PD patients (all PD with long disease duration) and 1 sample from the controls were excluded, all baseline samples.
For P‐tau there were 8 missing in the control group and 16 missing in the PD group. Baseline and follow‐up CSF samples were always analyzed in the same batch. All analyses were performed using 1 batch of reagents by board‐certified laboratory technicians who were blinded to clinical data. Intra‐assay coefficients of variation were below 10%.

All ELISAs and activity assays were performed in duplicate. Plates were read using a FLUOstar Omega plate reader (BMG LABTECH, UK). Standard curves were fitted with 4‐parameter logistic regression using MARS data analysis software (BMG LABTECH, UK). CSF samples were thawed on ice prior to measurement. Measurements of CSF concentrations and activity were performed using commercially available assays according to the manufacturer’s instructions (CircuLex human Chitotriosidase ELISA, CircuLex human YKL‐39 ELISA, CycLex Chitotriosidase Fluorimetric Assay Kit, MBL, UK; Human Chitinase‐3‐like 1 Quantikine ELISA kit, R&D systems, UK).
Samples were diluted where necessary to achieve a concentration within the linear range of standard curve measurements. Median intraassay and interassay coefficients of variation were below 10% for all assays: CHIT1 intraassay median 6.9% (IQR 2.9%–15.6%), interassay 4.0% (2.4%–5.2%), lower limit of detection (LLOD) 48.3 pg/mL; CHI3L1 5.8% (2.4%–12.09%), 2.6% (1.4%–11.9%), LLOD 3.55 pg/mL; CHI3L2 3.5% (1.2–7.3), 3.0% (0.7%–6.2%), LLOD 35.1 pg/mL; and CHIT1 activity 6.3% (1.7%–13.9%), 1.58% (0.8%–2.5%), LLOD 12.0 nmol/h/mL. Samples for which the analyte value was unmeasurably low were imputed with the LLOD.

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.
