The multiplex assay can be used to identify multiple, up to 10, autoantibodies within one single well, using 15 µL of serum. Briefly, multiplexed antibody assays based on single ECL assays will be discussed. In this review, single antibody ECL assays with human islet autoantibodies are primarily utilized. After bridging, the Biotin linker is caught in the solid phase and detected through ECL by the Sulfo-tag on the streptavidin coated plate ( Figure 1). In an ECL assay, the autoantibodies in the serum, if present, bridge the Sulfo-tag-conjugated antigen to the biotinylated capture antigen in the fluid phase. They more precisely mark the initiation of islet autoimmunity and ignore the low-affinity and low risk signals not relevant to diabetes. These assays enhance the prediction and staging of diabetes risk through earlier detection of islet autoantibodies. Recently, developed ECL assays have been extensively validated, have demonstrated increased sensitivity, and are more disease-specific 10, 11, 12, 13. The age of autoantibody seroconversion, titer, and affinity of islet autoantibodies can affect the rate of the progression to symptomatic type 1 diabetes 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. The rate at which diabetes affects patients from the initial occurrence of β-cell autoimmunity to the symptomatic disease, associated with the number and type of islet autoantibodies, is variable 2, 3.

Exact detection of human islet autoantibodies plays an important role in identifying and staging presymptomatic type 1 diabetes, as the presence of islet autoantibodies indicates the presence of β-cell autoimmunity. The results are conveyed through an index, which is generated from internal standard positive and negative control serum samples.Ī recent staging classification system has been created to assist with the diagnosis of initial stages of T1D in patients. The plate is then counted on the plate reader machine.

Subsequently, the plate is washed again, and reader buffer is added. Place the plate on the plate shaker, set it at low speed, and incubate at room temperature for 1 h. On the second day, wash the streptavidin plate and transfer the serum-antigen mixture onto the plate. The same day, a streptavidin-coated plate is prepared with blocker buffer and incubated overnight at 4 ☌. Afterwards, the samples are incubated overnight at 4 ☌. To perform the assay, serum samples are mixed with Sulfo-tag-conjugated and biotinylated capture antigen protein in phosphate buffered solution (PBS), containing 5% Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). This step is especially vital in determining the requirements for serum acid treatments, concentrations, and ratios of the two different antigens labeled with Sulfo-tag and Biotin. Each ECL autoantibody assay that uses a particular antigen protein needs an optimization step before it can be used for laboratory application. The antigen protein used in this ECL assay is labeled with Sulfo-tag and Biotin, respectively. ECL assays can more precisely define the onset of presymptomatic T1D by distinguishing the high-risk, high-affinity autoantibodies from the low-risk, low-affinity autoantibodies generated in RBAs, and conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). A novel ECL assay is a nonradioactive fluid phase assay for islet autoantibodies with higher sensitivity and specificity than the current 'gold' standard radio-binding assay (RBA).
