Cyclosporine A, immunoassay, immunosuppressant drugs, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), therapeutic drug monitoring Recently, the CsA immunoassay was reformulated (ref: LN 3R30) to improve assay imprecision of the previous on-market assay (ref: LK 1L75). Keywords: cyclosporine A; immunoassay; immunosuppressant drugs; liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS); therapeutic drug monitoring EN cyclosporine A immunoassay immunosuppressant drugs liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) therapeutic drug monitoring e209 e212 4 04/12/21 20210501 NES 210501 To the Editor, Cyclosporine A (CsA) is an immunosuppressant drug (ISD) used to prevent transplant rejection after organ transplantation. Assay imprecision (within-run, between-run and total imprecision) was evaluated, both for the immunoassays as for the LC-MS/MS method, following the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute protocol EP5-A3 and using three Lyphocheck Whole Blood Immunosuppressant Controls, level 1, 2 and 3 (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA; LOT: 26270, EXP: 09/2021) [[10]].
