The abuse of recombinant erythropoietin (rEPO) and other erythropoietin (EPO) receptor agonists (ERAs) in sports prompted the need for sensitive detection methods of these substances. Dried blood spot (DBS) samples offer an easy solution for simultaneous collection of blood and urine during a doping control, but sensitivity issues are often presented as a challenge for routine EPO analysis from DBS. Its potential use for detecting rEPO micro‐doses and the EPO gene c.577del variant thus needed further demonstration. Here, capillary blood collected from the arm skin of 111 athletes with Tasso‐M20 (17.5 μL/spot), collected during professional triathlon competitions, were analysed. Also, venous blood samples from healthy volunteers were used to prepare several spots of 20 μL on Mitra VAMS (from an rEPO micro‐dose study) and Whatman filter paper (from an EPO gene variant study). Immunopurification of 2 spots with MAIIA EPO Purification Gel Kit and analysis with sodium N‐lauroylsarcosinate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SAR‐PAGE)/Western blot resulted in sensitive detection of (1) micro‐doses of rEPO from Mitra VAMS, (2) endogenous EPO from Tasso‐M20 in all in‐competition subjects, and (3) the EPO c.577del variant from Whatman filter paper. Additionally, in‐competition endogenous EPO was detected in DBS even when matching urine samples had undetectable EPO. In conclusion, this work demonstrated that DBS can be a useful complementary matrix to urine samples for EPO detection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
