dc.description.abstract | Background Quantitative suspension arrays are powerful immunoassays to measure antibodies against multiple antigens in large numbers of samples in a short time and using few microliters. To identify antigen targets of immunity for vaccine development against complex microbes like Plasmodium falciparum, such technology allows the characterization of the magnitude and antigenic specificity of Ig isotypes and subclasses that are important for functional responses. However, standardized assays are not widely available. Methods We developed six quantitative suspension array assays to measure IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgM and IgE specific to multiple P. falciparum antigens. Secondary and tertiary antibodies, as well as human purified antibodies for standard curves, were tested among several commercially available sources. Positive and negative controls included plasmas from malaria hyper-immune African adults and from malaria-naïve European adults, respectively. Reagents were selected and optimal antibody and test sample dilutions established according to sensitivity, specificity and performance of the standard curves. The variability between replicates and plates was assessed with 30 test samples and controls. Results Assays were able to detect P. falciparum antigen-specific antibodies for all isotypes and subclasses in samples from malaria-exposed individuals, with low background signal in blank wells. Levels detected in malaria-naïve individuals were overall low except for IgM. For the IgG2 and IgE assays, a triple sandwich was required for sensitivity. Standard curves with 5-parameter logistic fit were successfully obtained in all assays. The coefficients of variation for measurements performed in different days were all <30%, and <5% when comparing duplicates from the same plate. Conclusion The isotype/subclass assays developed here were sensitive, specific, reproducible and of adequate quantification dynamic range. They allow performing detailed immuno-profiling to large panels of P. falciparum antigens to address naturally- and vaccine-induced Ig responses and elucidate correlates of malaria protection, and could also be applied to other antigenic panels. | - |
