5A). Additional proteolytic activity testing (Fig. 3A) with two peptide substrates, MeO-Suc-RPY-MCA and Mu-HSSKLQ-AMC (Fig. 3B), confirmed that the Thr163 PSA had a lower proteolytic activity towards the fluorescent peptides compared to the Wt PSA protein variant and as expected, the ...

In order to preclude 3 ethnicity-related serum PSA effects, and since ethnicity data are not collected during PSA testing, only age-specific reference ranges for Caucasian males were used. PSA cutoff levels for an abnormal test were based on the Alberta Toward Optimized Practice 2010 guidelines ...
Previous study has shown that PSA testing has low sensitivity when the PSA cut-off value is set at ≥4 ng/mL, and the diagnostic rate among patients with a PSA level of 4–10 ng/mL was much lower [6]. PSA alone is no longer useful as a prognostic marker. We strongly believe that...
