Title: Method of detection of glycated proteins in biological samples and use thereof The present invention relates to a method of detection of glycated proteins, particularly gHSA, which comprises the steps of: i) providing
anthracene boronic acid methacrylate (ABAM): 10-[N-methyl-N-(o- boronobenzyl)aminomethyl]-
anthracene-9-
methyl methacrylate; ii) preparing a solution of ABAM in a biocompatible buffer with pH in the range of from 6.5 to 8.5 or in
in vitro blood plasma sample of a healthy subject; iii) measuring initial
fluorescence intensity of ABAM solution from step ii) at the
wavelength of from 410 to 520 nm; iv)
in vitro mixing of a known amount of ABAM solution from step ii) with a known amount of biological sample; v) measuring
fluorescence intensity of the mixture from step iv) at the
wavelength of from 410 to 520 nm; vi) determining the
fluorescence intensity increases between the initial control
fluorescence intensity measured in step iii) and the
fluorescence intensity of the mixture of ABAM and biological sample measured in step v); vii) calculating the amount of glycated proteins in the biological sample. The present invention further relates to the use of this method in determination of the total concentrations of glycated proteins, particularly gHSA, in
plasma samples and diagnostics for
diabetes mellitus.
