PD CEN/TS 16826-2:2015 CEN/TS 16826-2:2015 (E) 4 Introduction Molecular in vitro diagnostics has enabled a significant progress in medicine. Fur
19、ther progress is expected by new technologies analysing signatures of nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites in human tissues and body fluids. However, the profiles and/or integrity of these molecules can change drastically during primary sample collection, transport, storage, and processing thus
20、making the outcome from diagnostics or research unreliable or even impossible because the subsequent analytical assay will not determine the situation in the patient but an artificial molecular pattern generated during the pre-examination process. Therefore, a standardization of the entire process f
21、rom primary sample collection to protein analysis is needed. Studies have been undertaken to determine the important influencing factors. This Technical Specification draws upon such work to codify and standardize the steps for frozen tissue with regard to protein analysis in what is referred to as
22、the preanalytical phase. PD CEN/TS 16826-2:2015 CEN/TS 16826-2:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This Technical Specification gives recommendations for the handling, documentation and processing of frozen tissue specimens intended for the analysis of extracted proteins during the preanalytical phase before a molec
23、ular assay is performed. This Technical Specification is applicable to molecular in vitro diagnostic examinations (e.g., in vitro diagnostic laboratories, laboratory customers, developers and manufacturers of in vitro diagnostics, institutions and commercial organisations performing biomedical resea
24、rch, biobanks, and regulatory authorities). Protein profiles and protein-protein interactions in tissues can change drastically before and after collection (due to e.g., gene induction, gene down regulation, protein degradation). Protein species amounts can change differently in tissues from differe
25、nt donors / patients. The expression of genes can be influenced by the given treatment or medical intervention (surgery, biopsy), or drugs administered for anaesthesia or even treatment of concomitant disease as well as by the different environment conditions after the tissue removal from the body.
26、Therefore, it is essential to take special measures to minimize the described profile changes and modifications within the tissue for subsequent protein analysis. Tissues that have undergone chemical stabilization pre-treatment before freezing are not covered in this document. In addition this docum
27、ent is not applicable for protein analysis by immunohistochemistry. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

Consumables including kits shall be verified before use in examination (see EN ISO 15189:2012, 5.3.2.3); EN ISO 15189:2012, 5.5.1.2
40、 and 5.5.1.3 can also apply. As all steps of a diagnostic workflow can influence the final analytical performance, the entire workflow comprising the preanalytical steps, including information on biomolecule stability and storage conditions, and analytical steps should be verified and validated (see
41、 EN ISO 15189). The stability of the specific protein(s) of interest and their posttranslational modifications (if important for the assay) should be investigated throughout the complete preanalytical workflow prior to the development and implementation of an analytical test. Before tissues are stab
42、ilized by freezing; protein amounts, conformations and binding status can change e.g., by protein degradation and altered synthesis following gene induction, gene down regulation, RNA degradation, and changes of the biochemical pathway and energy status. These effects depend on the duration of warm
43、and cold ischemia and the ambient temperature before freezing. In addition, those effects can vary in tissues from different donors / patients. Generally, the longer the warm and cold ischemia times and the higher the ambient temperature before freezing the tissue specimen, the higher is the risk th
44、at changes in the protein profile can occur. NOTE Prolonged cold ischemia times result in changes of protein (e.g., cytokeratin 18) and phosphoprotein (e.g., phospho-p42/44) amounts 1, 2. Keeping the specimen on wet-ice diminishes this effect 3. Protein amounts as well as posttranslational modificat
45、ions can also vary during the preanalytical phase, depending on the origin and type of tissue, the underlying disease, the surgical procedure, the drug regime, and drugs administered for anaesthesia or treatment of concomitant disease and on the different environmental conditions after the tissue re
46、moval from the body. As warm ischemia cannot be easily standardized, its time and duration should be documented. When it is not possible to avoid cold ischemia, its time of onset and duration shall be documented and the temperatures of the specimen transport containers surroundings should be documen
47、ted. Where the specimen is transported to another facility for freezing, the transport duration shall be documented and the ambient conditions should also be documented. Safety regulations on transport and handling shall be considered (see EN ISO 15189:2012, 5.2.3 and 5.4.5 and ISO 15190). During th
48、e whole preanalytical workflow precautions shall be taken to avoid cross contamination between different samples.
