Labile copper(II) ions (Cu2+) in serum are considered to be readily available for cellular uptake and to constitute the biologically active Cu2+ species in the blood. It might also be suitable to reflect copper dyshomeostasis during diseases such as Wilson's disease (WD) or neurological disorders. So far, no direct quantification method has been described to determine this small Cu2+ subset. This study introduces a fluorometric high throughput assay using the novel Cu2+ binding fluoresceine-peptide sensor FP4 (Kd of the Cu2+-FP4-complex 0.38 pM) to determine labile Cu2+ in human and rat serum. Using 96 human serum samples, labile Cu2+was measured to be 0.14 ± 0.05 pM, showing no correlation with age or other serum trace elements. No sex-specific differences in labile Cu2+ concentrations were noted, in contrast to the total copper levels in serum. Analysis of the effect of drug therapy on labile Cu2+ in the sera of 19 patients with WD showed a significant decrease in labile Cu2+ following copper chelation therapy, suggesting that labile Cu2+ may be a specific marker of disease status and that the assay could be suitable for monitoring treatment progress.
