Background

Human C-peptide is a 31-amino-acid peptide that connects the A and B chains of proinsulin in the human pancreas, released into the bloodstream in equimolar amounts to insulin and serving as a critical marker of endogenous insulin secretion; clinically, its measurement helps distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, evaluate residual beta-cell function, diagnose insulinomas, and assess causes of hypoglycemia, since synthetic insulin preparations do not contain C-peptide. Monkey C-peptide is highly similar to human C-peptide in both structure and function, reflecting the close phylogenetic relationship between humans and non-human primates—Old World monkeys (e.g., macaques) typically have a C-peptide sequence differing from humans by only a few amino acids while maintaining comparable bioinertness and stoichiometric release with insulin. In preclinical research and toxicology studies, monkey C-peptide is measured as a translational biomarker to evaluate pancreatic beta-cell health, insulin secretion dynamics, and the diabetogenic potential of novel drugs. Thus, both human and monkey C-peptides are valuable biomarkers for insulin production, and their structural homology supports the use of monkeys as relevant models for human metabolic and diabetic research; however, species-specific assays are often required for accurate quantification due to minor sequence variations.

Linearity
The concentrations of Human C-peptide were measured and interpolated from the target standard curves and corrected for sample dilution.
#1 sample is undiluted samples are as follows: Human serum donor #1 was 4fold dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted. The mean target concentration was determined to be 3255.81 pg/mL in human serum donor #1.
#2 sample is undiluted samples are as follows: Human serum donor #2 was 4fold dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted. The mean target concentration was determined to be 3113.40 pg/mL in human serum donor #2.
#3 sample is undiluted samples are as follows: Human plasma-EDTA was 4fold dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted. The mean target concentration was determined to be 3817.99 pg/mL in human plasma-EDTA.

#4 sample is undiluted samples are as follows: Female monkey serum was 4fold dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted. The mean target concentration was determined to be 160.46 pg/mL in female monkey serum.
#5 sample is undiluted samples are as follows: Monkey plasma-EDTA was 4fold dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted. The mean target concentration was determined to be 858.96 pg/mL in monkey plasma-EDTA.
