Device Description
The test is performed as a solid phase immunoassay (ELISA) in B2GP1 coated microwells. Controls, Calibrators and patient serum samples are incubated in the antigen coated microwells to allow antibodies present in the serum to bind. Unbound antibody and other serum proteins are removed by washing the microwells are detected by adding an enzyme labeled anti-human lgA, lgG, lgM or lgA/IgG/IgM conjugate to the microwells. These enzyme conjugated antibodies bind specifically to the human immunoglobulin of the apropriate class. Unbound enzyme-labeled conjugate is removed by washing. Specific enzyme substrate (TMB) is then added to the presence of antibodies is detected by a color change produced by the conversion of the TMB substrate. The reaction is stopped and the intensity of color change, which is proportional to the concentration of antibody, is read by a spectrophotometer at 450 nm. Results are expressed in ELISA units per milliliter (EU/ml).

Device Description

Antiphospholipid are a heterogeneous group of autoantibodies against negatively charged phospholipids. They are detected primarily by the anti-cardiolipin antibody (ACA) test, the biological false positive test for syphilis or the lupus anticoagulant test. These three tests detect related, but not necessarily identical antibodies. Thus, more than one of these tests may be necessary to identify antiphospholipid antibodies. Of the various tests for the detection of antibodies, the anti-cardiolipin antibody test performed by ELISA is the most sensitive." The presence of anti-cardiolipin antibodies helps to identify indents at risk of venous and/or arterial thrombosis often accompanied by thrombocytopenia, a syndrome referred to as antiphospholipid syndrome." 12tt most commonly occurs in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or lupus-like diseases where the criteria for SLE are not fulfilled." High levels of anti-cardiolipin antibodies occur in thrombocytopenia and several other disorders. 43 Anti-cardiolipin antibodies are routinely detected by ELISA, using cardiolipin as the antigen. Recent observations have indicated that 50kD serum factor is necessary for ACA to bind to cardiolipin. This co-factor was later identified as beta 2 glycoprotein 1 (82GP1) or synonymously apolipoprotein H. 488 Though the function of B2GP1 remains unclear, it is certain that the presence of B2GP1 facilitates the binding of the ACA to cardiolipin antibodies, especially at low levels are found in a variety of clinical disorders unrelated to anti-phospholipid syndrome. ACA present in sera of patients with SLE and other are immunologically distinct from sera of patients with syphilis. The use of B2GP1 protein as a replacement for cardiolipin antigen on the solid matrix helps to make this distinction. Furthermore, anti-B2GP1 antibodies are very specific for anti-phospholipid syndrome The test is performed as a solid phase immunoassay (ELISA) in B2GP1 coated microwells. Controls, Calibrators and patient serum samples are incubated in the antigen coated microwells to allow antibodies present in the serum to bind.

Cross Reactivity: Potentially co-incident antibody positive specimens selected from individuals suffering from other autoimmune or infectious diseases were tested for B2GP1 antibodies using the ImmuLisa™ assay. Indeterminate samples were considered positive. Tables provided for IgA, IgG, IgM, and IgA/IgG/IgM with various conditions and n Pos/% Pos.

Interference: Interference was studied by mixing sera with known B2GP1 levels for each assay with potentially interfering serum samples and studying deviation from expected results. No significant interference was demonstrated for the levels indicated: Hemoglobin (2 g/L), Bilirubin (342 umo/L), Rheumatoid Factor (100 EU/ml), Triglycerides (37 mmo/4), Heparin (3000 U/L), Acetylsalicylic Acid (3.62 mmol/L), Warfarin (32.5 µmo/L), Hydroxychloroquine (148 µmo//L), Rituximal (75 μg/ml), and Atorvastatin (600 μg ΕΩ/L).

Precision: Precision was tested with positive specimens selected throughout the range of the assay. Seven patients were run in 13 assays with 6 replicates of each sample over a period of 4 weeks. An additional assay of 12 replicates was run to determine repeatability (n=90 replicates per sample). Assays were run by two operators on two different sets of equipment.
Results summarized in a table showing Mean EU/ml, Total Imprecision, Between days, Between Operator, and Within run (Repeatability) with values and CV%.

Reproducibility: Qualitative reproducibility was tested with 90 replicates of samples in the negative range, ~20% below cutoff, in the moderate positive range of the assay and near the qualitative analysis method. Samples were tested by two different operators / equipment sets. The cutoff samples produced 76.7% (positive) and 61.1% (negative) qualitative agreement for Ize, JgG and IgM, respectively. Results for the 10% specimen produced 96.7% (negative) qualitative agreement. Assay results for all other specimens produced 100% qualitative agreement. For the 120% below cutoff specimen produced 97.8% qualitative agreement (negative). The cutoff sample produced 50% negative qualitative agreement. Results for all other specimens produced 100% qualitative agreement.

Limit of Detection: The limits of detection (LoD) for these assays were determined to be 3.6 EU/ml for lgG , 2.3 EU/ml for lgM, and 2.7 EU/ml for IgA/IgG/IgM based on 60 replicates of the blank and 10 replicates each of 5 low-level (normal blood donor) samples.

Linearity and Recovery: For the individual IgA, IgG and IgM kits, linearity and recovery were tested by diluting positive sssay range in equidistant dilutions and comparing actual results. The linear range of the lgA assay was determined to be 3.6–160 EU/ml. The linear range of the lgG assay was determined to be 3.1-160 EU/ml. The linear range of the IgM assay was determined to be 2.3-160 EU/ml.
Results summarized in tables for B2GP1 IgA, B2GP1 IgG, and B2GP1 IgM showing Test Range (EU/ml), Slope (95% CI), Y-intercept (95% CI), R2, and % recovery (obtained/expected).
To assess hook effect, dilutions of high positive specimens with results above the 160 EU/ml measuring range were tested. Hook effect was not demonstrated in dilution samples as high as 228.6 EU/ml for IgG, and 605.5 EU/ml for IgM testing within OD range of the microplate reader (~3.50D).

Clinical Tests: Sets of clinical samples were tested to assess sensitivity and specificity for APS, APS with SLE and SLE. Results are summarized below.

Similarities and Differences: Both sets of kits detect antibodies to beta 2 glycoprotein 1antigen coated on 96 well plates to detect with HRP anti-human IgG conjugate and TMB substrate. Both sets of IgA, JgG and IgM kits utilize a 5 point calibrator curve, however, Immco uses a borderline/indeterminate range of 20-25EU/ml, while INOVA does not use a borderline/indeterminate range. The lmmco lgA/gG/IGM kit uses a single calibrator set at 30EU/ml, has a cutoff of 20 units with no borderline range and incorporates a combined IgA/IgG/IgM conjugate.

Rubella

Interference was studied by mixing sera with known B2GP1 levels for each assay with potentially interfering serum samples and studying deviation from expected results. No significant interference was demonstrated for the levels indicated: Hemoglobin (2 g/L), Bilirubin (342 umo/L), Rheumatoid Factor (100 EU/ml), Triglycerides (37 mmo/4), Heparin (3000 U/L), Acetylsalicylic Acid (3.62 mmol/L), Warfarin (32.5 µmo/L), Hydroxychloroquine (148 µmo//L), Rituximal (75 μg/ml), and Atorvastatin (600 μg ΕΩ/L).

Precision

Precision was tested with positive specimens selected throughout the range of the assay. Seven patients were run in 13 assays with 6 replicates of each sample over a period of 4 weeks. An additional assay of 12 replicates was run to determine repeatability (n=90 replicates per sample). Assays were run by two operators on two different sets of equipment.

Reproducibility

Qualitative reproducibility was tested with 90 replicates of samples in the negative range, ~20% below cutoff, in the moderate positive range of the assay and near the qualitative analysis method. Samples were tested by two different operators / equipment sets. The cutoff samples produced 76.7% (positive) and 61.1% (negative) qualitative agreement for Ize, JgG and IgM, respectively. Results for the 10% specimen produced 96.7% (negative) qualitative agreement. Assay results for all other specimens produced 100% qualitative agreement. For the 120% below cutoff specimen produced 97.8% qualitative agreement (negative). The cutoff sample produced 50% negative qualitative agreement. Results for all other specimens produced 100% qualitative agreement.

Limit of Detection

The limits of detection (LoD) for these assays were determined to be 3.6 EU/ml for lgG , 2.3 EU/ml for lgM, and 2.7 EU/ml for IgA/IgG/IgM based on 60 replicates of the blank and 10 replicates each of 5 low-level (normal blood donor) samples. .

Linearity and Recovery

For the individual IgA, IgG and IgM kits, linearity and recovery were tested by diluting positive sssay range in equidistant dilutions and comparing actual results. The linear range of the lgA assay was determined to be 3.6–160 EU/ml. The linear range of the lgG assay was determined to be 3.1-160 EU/ml. The linear range of the IgM assay was determined to be 2.3-160 EU/ml. Results are summarized below:
