1 UPDATE IN THE EVALUATION OF ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID ANTIBODIES SILVIA S. PIERANGELI, PhD LOUISVILLE APL DIAGNOSTICS, INC DORAVILLE, GA USA Louisville APL Diagnostics, Inc

2 Louisville APL Diagnostics 1984-1985 n Problems with false positive results n aCL positive in a wide variety of infectious diseases and in non-APS related autoimmune diseases.

3 Louisville APL Diagnostics

4 ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME Diagnostic Testing n 1.) Laboratory confirmation is vital for diagnosis of APS. n 2.) Anticardiolipin antibody and lupus anticoagulant tests together diagnose vast majority of APS patients-these tests are relatively standard and well understood. n 3.) More specific test for APS should be developed and broadly tested (include anti-cardiolipin positive/APS negative sera in testing). n 4.) More specific tests may enable confirmation of diagnosis in equivocal and unusual clinical presentations to APS.

5 Louisville APL Diagnostics ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME Laboratory Tests n Tests should be positive in most patients with disorder (sensitivity). n Tests should be largely confined to patients with disorder (specificity) n Tests should be performed reproducibly in most laboratories.

6 Louisville APL Diagnostics APhL ® ELISA Kit - Principle n Based on observation that antiphospholipid antibodies crossreact with negatively charged phospholipids but syphilis and other infectious diseases sera largely limited to cardiolipin binding (no crossreactivity) n Construction of a kit with negatively charged phospholipids might eliminate non-specific binding.

7 Louisville APL Diagnostics ANTI-CARDIOLIPIN ANTIBODIES n BINDS n Cardiolipin n Phosphatidylserine n Phosphatidylglycerol n Phosphatidic Acid n DOES NOT BIND n Phosphatidylcholine n ?phosphatidylethanolamine

Morehouse School of Medicine: aCL (in-house) and anti-  2 GPI (INOVA) Morehouse School of Medicine: aCL (in-house) and anti-  2 GPI (INOVA) University of Milan: in-house anti-  2 GPI and anti-prothrombin.

16 Louisville APL Diagnostics CAP survey results: IgG APhL ELISA

17 Louisville APL Diagnostics CAP survey: IgM APhL

18 Louisville APL Diagnostics APhL ® ELISA kit n Six pre-diluted calibrators (ready to use) n 3 x 30 minutes incubation steps n Peroxidase and alkaline phosphatase systems available n All other reagents in “ready-to-use” form n Determination of IgG and IgM aPL antibodies n 12 month expiration date. n Good to be used in automated systems.

19 Louisville APL Diagnostics APhL ® ELISA kit n Antigen composed fo mixture of phospholipids - ß 2 GP1 n Sensitivity of APS (greater than 90%) n More specific than anticardiolipin test and at least as specific (or more) compared to anti-ß 2 GP1 n Incorporation of an in-house positive control n Can be utilized for first line testing, and certainly important in confirmation of APS

20 Louisville APL Diagnostics Conclusion n Since sensitivity of APhL ® ELISA kit is comparable to anticardiolipin test, it can be used for first line testing in place of the anticardiolipin test. The APhL ® ELISA kit will enable greater specificity - APS diagnosis
