Comparative assessment of a multiplex micro-chip immunoassay, VaxArray, and meso scale discovery assay for serotype-specific coronavirus IgG quantitation
Immunoassays for serology have advanced from radio-immunoassays to multiplexed micro-array-based technologies over the past years. Comparative studies can assist users in selecting an assay platform based on its applicability and performance characteristics. This study compared a 9-plex commercial VaxArray Coronavirus SeroAssay (InDevR) and a 10-plex semi-custom Coronavirus SeroAssay (MSD) with a panel of human serum samples. The MSD assay showed superior dynamic range and sensitivity across all coronavirus serotypes, while both assays met accuracy (100 ± 20 %) and precision (%CV < 25 %) criteria. Although both platforms were concordant for anti-SARS-CoV2 IgG measurements, the clinical sensitivity and specificity of the MSD assay were marginally higher than those of VaxArray. Despite VaxArray's shorter total assay time and higher potential for multiplexing and re-readability, it requires improvements in dynamic range, sensitivity, specificity, and automation capabilities for regulated use.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Immunological Methods is devoted to covering techniques for: (1) Quantitating and detecting antibodies and/or antigens. (2) Purifying immunoglobulins, lymphokines and other molecules of the immune system. (3) Isolating antigens and other substances important in immunological processes. (4) Labelling antigens and antibodies. (5) Localizing antigens and/or antibodies in tissues and cells. (6) Detecting, and fractionating immunocompetent cells. (7) Assaying for cellular immunity. (8) Documenting cell-cell interactions. (9) Initiating immunity and unresponsiveness. (10) Transplanting tissues. (11) Studying items closely related to immunity such as complement, reticuloendothelial system and others. (12) Molecular techniques for studying immune cells and their receptors. (13) Imaging of the immune system. (14) Methods for production or their fragments in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
In addition the journal will publish articles on novel methods for analysing the organization, structure and expression of genes for immunologically important molecules such as immunoglobulins, T cell receptors and accessory molecules involved in antigen recognition, processing and presentation. Submitted full length manuscripts should describe new methods of broad applicability to immunology and not simply the application of an established method to a particular substance - although papers describing such applications may be considered for publication as a short Technical Note. Review articles will also be published by the Journal of Immunological Methods. In general these manuscripts are by solicitation however anyone interested in submitting a review can contact the Reviews Editor and provide an outline of the proposed review.
