## Indications for Use

The QUANTA Lite™ h-tTG Screen is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the semi-quantitative detection of IgA and IgG antibodies to human tissue transglutaminase (htTG) in human serum. The presence of these antibodies can be used in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory tests to aid in the diagnosis of both IgA sufficient and IgA deficient celiac disease as well as dermatitis herpetiformis

## Device Story

QUANTA Lite™ h-tTG Screen is an ELISA-based in vitro diagnostic test for semi-quantitative detection of IgA and IgG antibodies to human tissue transglutaminase (htTG) in human serum. Device utilizes polystyrene microplate strips coated with native human tissue transglutaminase antigen. Patient serum samples are added to wells; if present, htTG-specific antibodies bind to immobilized antigen. After washing, HRP-conjugated goat anti-human IgA and IgG is added, followed by a second incubation. Unbound conjugate is washed away, and TMB chromogen substrate is added. Resulting color intensity is measured spectrophotometrically at 450 nm (or 620 nm dual wavelength). Performed in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output is a semi-quantitative unit value compared against a 20-unit cut-off. Results assist clinicians in diagnosing celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis by identifying specific autoantibody presence.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical study evaluated 517 samples: 23 untreated celiacs, 5 IgA-deficient celiacs, 18 celiac 1st-degree relatives, 13 dermatitis herpetiformis, 44 disease controls, and 414 healthy individuals. Overall clinical sensitivity was 87.8% (36/41) and specificity was 97.1% (462/476). Method comparison with predicates on 506 samples showed 100% positive percent agreement and 97.1% negative percent agreement.

## Technological Characteristics

ELISA; polystyrene microplate coated with purified human tissue transglutaminase antigen. Detection via HRP-conjugated goat anti-human IgA and IgG; TMB chromogen substrate; 0.344M sulfuric acid stop solution. Requires microplate reader (450nm/620nm). Manual/automated processing. Standardized via in-house controls (no reference standards).

## Regulatory Identification

A multiple autoantibodies immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of multiple autoantibodies aids in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders (disease produced when the body's own tissues are injured by autoantibodies).

L. Test Principle:
Native human tissue transglutaminase is bound to the wells of a polystyrene microwell plate under conditions that will preserve the antigen in its native state. Pre-diluted controls and diluted patient sera are added to separate wells, allowing any h-tTG IgA or IgG antibodies present to bind to the immobilized antigen. Unbound sample is washed away and an enzyme labeled anti-human IgA and IgG conjugate is added to each well. A second incubation allows the enzyme labeled anti-human IgA and IgG to bind to any patient antibodies, which have become attached to the microwells. After washing away any unbound enzyme labeled anti-human IgA and IgG, the remaining enzyme activity is measured by adding a chromogenic substrate and measuring the intensity of the color that develops. The assay can be evaluated spectrophotometrically by measuring and comparing the color intensity that develops in the patient wells with the color in the control wells

M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:

The intra-assay precision was determined by testing nine serum samples five times on one kit lot by one operator. Results showed that 4 samples with high anti-h-tTG concentrations (32.6-46.8 units) had  $\% \mathrm{CV}$  of  $1.2 - 7.7\%$ , 3 samples close to the cut-off (18.3-22.3 units) had  $\% \mathrm{CV}$  of  $2.1 - 5.8\%$  and 2 negative samples (7.7-13.5 units) had  $\% \mathrm{CV}$  of  $5.6 - 7.2\%$  (see table below).

The inter-assay precision was determined by testing twelve serum samples in duplicate six times for five days on one kit lot by one operator. Results showed that 5 samples with high anti-h-tTG concentrations (31.3-49.3 units) had  $\% \mathrm{CV}$  of  $2.2 - 9.3\%$ , 3 samples close to the cut-off (16.0-23.0 units) had  $\% \mathrm{CV}$  of  $4.8 - 11.3\%$  and 4 negative samples (5.2-14.5 units) had  $\% \mathrm{CV}$  of  $6.1 - 18.4\%$  (see table below).

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

Not applicable.

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):

There are no reference standards for htTG. The positive and negative controls are prepared in-house and arbitrary units are assigned during the development process.

Stability: The expiration date claim is one year for the QUANTA Lite™ h-tTG Screen.

d. Detection limit:

Not applicable.

e. Analytical specificity:

Interference by endogenous substances: No data provided. The package insert states that grossly hemolyzed, lipemic, icteric, microbially contaminated, heat-treated samples or specimens containing visible particulate should be avoided in this assay.

Crossreactivity with other autoantibodies: The QUANTA Lite™ h-tTG Screen was tested with 44 sera containing other autoantibodies specific for:

Chromatin (4), Centromere (4), GBM (4), SS-B (4), RNP (5), SCL-70 (6), Jo1 (5), Sm (4), SS-A (4), and TPO (4). All samples were negative with the QUANTA Lite™ h-tTG Screen with a mean value of  $4.6\mathrm{U / mL}$  which is below the 20 unit cut-off.

{4}

f. Assay cut-off:

The assay cut-off of 20 units for the assay was established from 381 random asymptomatic healthy individuals residing in the United States. Age and gender were available for 269 samples and unavailable for the remaining 112 samples. The age ranges were 14-76 years and included 141 male subjects and 128 female subjects. The assay specificity was 97.9% (373/381). The mean value of 381 samples was 8.6 units. The standard deviation (SD) of the samples was 4.4 units. The mean value was 2.5SDs below the cut-off value of 20 units. Of the 8 positive samples, six were weak positive with values from 20.3 - 28.4 units; one moderate positive value was 32.4 units and one strong positive value was 54.9 units which was believed to be from a true celiac patient based on a positive IgA anti-h-tTG result of 72.4 units.

2. Comparison studies:

a. Method comparison with predicate device:

Testing was performed on 125 samples from four celiac disease reference labs and 81 normal samples. The Positive Percent Agreement was 100.0% (52/52); the Negative Percent Agreement was 97.1% (451/454) and the Overall Agreement was 97.4% (493/506).
