Specificity
Frequency distribution of antibodies in Anti- ß2 GP-I Screen. 99 unselected human sera were tested. All sera were found negative. This corresponds to a diagnostic specificity of 100%.

Assay Principle

The Anti-Beta-2 GP-I Screen ELISA is used for the semi-quantitative determination of IgG, IgM and IgA antibodies to ß2 glycoprotein-I in human serum or plasma.

The antibodies of the controls and the diluted patient samples react with human ß2 GP-I, immobilized on the solid phase of microtiter plates. The use of highly purified ß2 GP-I guarantees the specific binding of antibodies to ß2 glycoprotein-I of the specimen under investigation. Following an incubation period of 60 min at room temperature, unbound serum components are removed by a wash step.

The bound IgG antibodies react specifically with anti-human-IgG, -IgM and -IgA conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) within the incubation period of 30 min at room temperature (RT). Excessive conjugate is separated from the solid-phase immune complexes by the following wash step.

HRP converts the colourless substrate solution of 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethyl¬benzidine (TMB) added into a blue product. The enzyme reaction is stopped by dispensing an acidic solution (H2SO4) into the wells after 15 min at RT turning the solution from blue to yellow.

The optical density (OD) of the solution at 450 nm is directly proportional to the amount of specific antibodies bound. The OD values of the unknown patient samples are compared to the OD values of the calibrator.

Additional Information

Assay Background

APAS is an autoimmune disorder comprising such clinical symptoms like arterial or venous thrombosis, thrombocytopenia and recurrent fetal loss. Primary APAS as well as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are characterized by the appearance of autoantibodies to negatively charged phospholipids (1). Although significance and pathological relevance of phospholipid anti¬bodies are not completely revealed yet, the detection of several autoantibody specificities is usually applied to the differential diagnosis and follow-up of systemic rheumatic inflammatory diseases.

Unlike phospholipid antibodies which occur in some patients having infectious disease, phospholipid antibodies of autoimmune disease patients seem to recognize the relevant phospholipids in association with a plasma protein cofactor.
One of these cofactors has been identified as β2 glycoprotein-I (β2 GP-I) (apolipoprotein H) (2,3). β2 GP-I, a serum protein with a molecular weight of 50 kDa affects platelet aggregation and coagulation.

The positively charged fifth domain of β2 GP-I interacts with negatively charged phospholipids or activated polystyrol surfaces of ELISA wells. This interaction results in conformational changes of β2 GP-I and the creation of new epitopes apparently recognized by autoimmune phospholipid autoantibodies.

Assay Procedure

  1. Bring all reagents to room temperature (18-25°C) before use. Mix gently without causing foam.
  2. Dispense  100 µl controls (P, CO, N) 100 µl diluted patient samples into the respective wells.
  3. Incubate 60 min at room temperature (18-25°C).
  4. Decant, then wash each well three times using 300 µl  wash solution (made of B).
  5. Add 100 µl of conjugate (D) solution to each well.
  6. Incubate 30 min at room temperature (18-25°C).
  7. Decant, then wash each well three times using 300 µl  wash solution (made of B).
  8. Add 100 µl of substrate (E) to each well.
  9. Incubate 15 min protected from light at room temperature (18-25°C).
  10. Add 100 µl of stop solution (F) to each well and mix gently.
  11. Read the OD at 450 nm versus 620 or 690 nm within 30 min after adding the stop solution.
