29 Summary I We defined the analyte HbA1c as the glucose adduct to the N- terminal amino acid, valine of the β-chain of hemoglobin Primary calibrators, pure HbA1c (monoglycated β-chain and non-glycated α-chain) and pure HbA0 (nonglycated β-chain and nonglycated α-chain) have been purified A reference method has been developed as follows: Hemoglobin is cleaved into peptides by the proteolytic enzyme endoproteinase Glu-C The resulting glycated and nonglycated N-terminal hexapeptides of the β-chain are separated from the crude peptide mixture by reversed-phase HPLC J.O. Jeppsson 29

30 Summary II The hexapeptides are quantified by mass spectrometry or capillary electrophoresis at ultraviolet detection HbA1c is determined as the ratio of the glycated and nonglycated β N-terminal hexapeptides of hemoglobin A strong correlation was obtained between IFCC-RM and all DCM methods The specific IFCC reference method gives HbA1c lower values than the DCM methods Reference range: % or mmol/mol J.O. Jeppsson 30
