OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLIA) for the monitoring of whole-blood tacrolimus concentrations in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. METHODS Sixty-three RA patients and 47 renal transplant (RT) patients treated with tacrolimus were enrolled. Tacrolimus concentrations in spiked blood and patient blood were measured by CLIA and HPLC-MS/MS. The cross-reactivity in CLIA was evaluated using 13-O-demethylated or 31-O-demethylated tacrolimus. RESULTS Tacrolimus concentrations measured by CLIA correlated with those measured by HPLC-MS/MS. Bland-Altman analysis revealed the 95% confidence intervals between CLIA and HPLC-MS/MS in RA and RT patients were -20.7 to 109.9% and -5.0 to 74.1%, respectively. While 31-O-demethylated tacrolimus cross-reaction amounted to an equivalent of 120% tacrolimus in CLIA, 13-O-demethylated tacrolimus did not cross-react. CONCLUSIONS CLIA values should be carefully interpreted in RA patients, especially those receiving a low dose of tacrolimus.

D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

D001172 Arthritis, Rheumatoid A chronic systemic disease, primarily of the joints, marked by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes and articular structures, widespread fibrinoid degeneration of the collagen fibers in mesenchymal tissues, and by atrophy and rarefaction of bony structures. Etiology is unknown, but autoimmune mechanisms have been implicated. Rheumatoid Arthritis
D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.

D049449 Luminescence Emission of LIGHT when ELECTRONS return to the electronic ground state from an excited state and lose the energy as PHOTONS. It is sometimes called cool light in contrast to INCANDESCENCE. LUMINESCENT MEASUREMENTS take advantage of this type of light emitted from LUMINESCENT AGENTS.

D053719 Tandem Mass Spectrometry A mass spectrometry technique using two (MS/MS) or more mass analyzers. With two in tandem, the precursor ions are mass-selected by a first mass analyzer, and focused into a collision region where they are then fragmented into product ions which are then characterized by a second mass analyzer. A variety of techniques are used to separate the compounds, ionize them, and introduce them to the first mass analyzer. For example, for in GC-MS/MS, GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY is involved in separating relatively small compounds by GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY prior to injecting them into an ionization chamber for the mass selection.
