Correction: A Rapid Lateral Flow Immunoassay for the Detection of Tyrosine Phosphatase-Like Protein IA-2 Autoantibodies in Human Serum
نویسندگان
چکیده
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from the destruction of pancreatic insulin-producing beta cells and is strongly associated with the presence of islet autoantibodies. Autoantibodies to tyrosine phosphatase-like protein IA-2 (IA-2As) are considered to be highly predictive markers of T1D. We developed a novel lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) based on a bridging format for the rapid detection of IA-2As in human serum samples. In this assay, one site of the IA-2As is bound to HA-tagged-IA-2, which is subsequently captured on the anti-HA-Tag antibody-coated test line on the strip. The other site of the IA-2As is bound to biotinylated IA-2, allowing the complex to be visualized using colloidal gold nanoparticle-conjugated streptavidin. For this study, 35 serum samples from T1D patients and 44 control sera from non-diabetic individuals were analyzed with our novel assay and the results were correlated with two IA-2A ELISAs. Among the 35 serum samples from T1D patients, the IA-2A LFIA, the in-house IA-2A ELISA and the commercial IA-2A ELISA identified as positive 21, 29 and 30 IA-2A-positive sera, respectively. The major advantages of the IA-2A LFIA are its rapidity and simplicity.

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan parasite that causes toxoplasmosis and is of medical importance in pregnant women and immunosuppressed patients. In recent years, many methods have been developed for the detection of infection caused by this parasite; however, most of the developed methods are not adequately sensitive. The dense granular antigen (GRA) ...

BACKGROUND Circulating autoantibodies to pancreatic glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65; the 65-kDa isoform of glutamic acid decarboxylase), protein tyrosine phosphatase-like protein IA-2, and insulin can be used as predictive markers of type 1 diabetes. We developed a novel assay for the detection of IA-2 autoantibodies (IA-2As) in serum based on time-resolved fluorimetry, hypothesizing that th...

BACKGROUND Autoantibodies for the 65-kDa form of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) and protein tyrosine phosphatase-like protein (IA-2) are measured for risk prediction and diagnosis of autoimmune diabetes mellitus. There is a lack of adequate nonisotopic alternatives to the most widely used method for both autoantibodies, which is a radiobinding assay (RBA). METHODS We compared two commerc...

Protein tyrosine phosphatase-like IA-2 autoantigen is one of the major targets of humoral autoimmunity in patients with insulin-dependant diabetes mellitus (IDDM). In an effort to define the epitopes recognized by autoantibodies against IA-2, we generated five human mAbs (hAbs) from peripheral B lymphocytes isolated from patients most of whom had been recently diagnosed for IDDM. Determination ...

BACKGROUND Autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADAs), specifically the 65-kDa isoform GAD65, and autoantibodies to the protein tyrosine phosphatase-like molecule IA-2 (IA-2As) predict development of diabetes. Our aim was to develop a time-resolved immunofluorometric (TR-IFMA) dual-label assay method for the simultaneous detection of these autoantibodies and to evaluate the diagnosti...
