Anti-Phosphatidylserin IgG/IgM ELISA

Detection and semi-quantitation of anti-phosphatidylserine antibodies in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus-like disorders (anti-phospholipid syndrome).

The test is performed as an indirect ELISA. The concentration of IgG anti-phosphatidylserine antibodies and IgM anti-phosphatidylserine antibodies must be determined separately. Diluted serum or plasma samples, calibrator sera, and controls are incubated in phosphatidylserine coated microwells. B2- glycoprotein I is provided in the sample diluent. Incubation allows the anti-phosphatidylserine (aPS) antibodies present in the samples to react with the immobilized antigen. After the removal of unbound serum or plasma proteins by washing, antibodies specific for human IgG or IgM, labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), are added forming complexes with the phosphatidylserine bound antibodies. Two enzyme-conjugated antibody solutions are provided, one specific for human IgG antibodies and one specific for human IgM antibodies. Following another washing step, the bound enzyme-antibody conjugate is assayed by the addition of a single solution containing tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the chromogenic substrate. Color develops in the wells at an intensity
proportional to the serum concentration of anti-phosphatidylserine (aPS) antibodies.

Results are obtained by reading the O.D. (optical density or absorbance) of each well in a
spectrophotometer. Calibrator sera are provided with the IgG and IgM anti-phosphatidyl-serine antibody concentrations expressed in GPS (IgG antiphosphatidylserine) or MPS (IgM anti-phosphatidylserine) units, respectively. The user has the option of running either a single point calibrator or a four-point calibration curve. For single point calibration, dividing the concentration value of the calibrator sera by the O.D. value of the calibrator provides a conversion factor (one for IgG and one for IgM). The O.D. values of the other samples are multiplied by the conversion factor to obtain IgG and IgM antiphosphatidylserine antibody concentrations in GPS or MPS units. For multipoint calibration, perform a linear regression analysis with calibrator values against calibrator O.D.s. Control and patient results are determined from the calibration curve. These units are traceable to the reference preparations of the Louisville Antiphospholipid Laboratory.
