Antibodies to nuclear antigens (antinuclear antibodies or ANAs) are the
serological hallmark of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). These antibodies bind
diverse nuclear antigens that include DNA, histones and non-histone proteins as
well as complexes of proteins with DNA and RNA. Because of the frequency of ANA
expression in SLE, testing is an important component of clinical evaluation as
well as determination of eligibility for clinical trials or utilization of
certain therapies. Immunofluorescence assays have been commonly used for this
purpose although this approach can be limited by issues of throughput,
variability and difficulty in determining positivity. ELISA and multiplex assays
are also useful approaches although these assays may give an incomplete picture
of antibodies present. To develop a sensitive and quantitative ANA assay, we have
explored an ELISA platform in which plates are pre-coated with a positively
charged nucleic acid binding polymer (NABP) to increase adherence of antigens
containing DNA or RNA. As a source of antigens, we have used supernatants of
Jurkat cells undergoing apoptosis in vitro. As results presented show, a
poly-L-lysine (PLL) pre-coat significantly enhances detection of antibodies to
DNA as well as antigens such as histones, SSA, SSB and RNP. Comparison of the
ELISA assay with the PLL pre-coat with a multiplex assay using the BioPlex® 2200
system indicated good agreement in results for a panel of lupus sera. Together,
these studies indicate that a pre-coat with a positively charged polymer can
increase the sensitivity of an ANA ELISA using as antigens molecules released
from dead and dying cells. This assay platform may facilitate ANA testing by
providing an ensemble of antigens more similar in composition and structure with
antigens present in vivo, with a NABP promoting adherence via charge-charge
interactions.
