Allergy affects more than 25% of Western populations (1) and is estimated to be the sixth leading cause of chronic disease in the United States and Western Europe. The complexity of the condition is such that hundreds of common allergens have been described, and in order to maximize diagnostic efficiency there is an urgent clinical requirement for assays to provide multiple-allergen determination in a timely and cost-effective manner. Miniaturized immunoassays that utilize protein microarray technology now offer the possibility of circumventing most of the current limitations in the serodiagnosis of allergic disease. The heterogeneous nature of allergens presents many challenges in all aspects of developing such arrays, from immobilization of the capture molecule to detection of the bound ligand. In addition, there is no simple method of protein amplification (such as PCR for nucleic acids), and stabilization is yet a further major consideration. Notwithstanding these challenges, protein microarrays have been developed for the serodiagnosis of allergies and other complex clinical conditions. These assays exhibit good analytical and clinical performance and deliver significant advantages in convenience and cost compared with traditional ELISA test formats. This chapter details the techniques employed in the construction and processing of an allergen array specific for the serodiagnosis of allergic disease. An overview of protein microarray technology is provided and the principles that underpin the suitability for use of this technology in the identification and measurement of particular proteins in patient sera (serum profiling) are discussed.

Protein microarrays offer the possibility to circumvent most of the current limitations in the serodiagnosis of allergy, autoimmune, and infectious disease by allowing the simultaneous, multiparametric determination of specific subclasses of antibodies directed against many pathogenic antigens. Microarray immunoassays have been developed with these characteristics. A first-generation assay, for the serodiagnosis of infectious disease, allows the determination of IgG and IgM antibodies to various viral and bacterial antigens. In addition, a second-generation assay, designed for the serodiagnosis of allergic disease, permits the determination of IgE antibodies to various allergens implicated in allergic disease. Slides printed with antibody dilution curves and antigen are first incubated with serum samples and then subsequently with secondary antibodies. For detection of human IgG and IgM, fluorescently labeled secondary antibodies are employed. However, because of low-level concentrations of circulating IgE antibodies, a more sensitive protocol is required for human IgE detection. Here, fluorescence is delivered via the coupling of the secondary antibody to tyramide signal-amplification reagentry. Human IgG, IgM, or IgE bound to the printed antigens can then be revealed by confocal scanning microscopy and quantified with internal calibration curves. Generation of analytical and clinical data have demonstrated that the microarray test format provides equivalent performance to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests and offers a significant advantage in convenience and cost when compared to traditional test formats.

Anti-TRAP and anti-CS humoral immunity response]., Bull Soc Pathol Exot, Vol: 96, Pages: 287-290, ISSN: 0037-9085

Vaccine development research is an important component of malaria control strategies. Thrombospondin related anonymous protein (TRAP) and the circumsporozoite (CS) protein are two antigens of sporozoite surface. Immune response to these two antigens may contribute to the development of anti-sporozoite vaccine. Recent studies suggest that antibodies anti-TRAP may partially block sporozoites penetration in hepatocyte, and thereby reducing malaria morbidity. We carried out a study to assess the seroprevalence of anti-TRAP and anti-CS antibodies and to identify a possible role of these antibodies on malaria morbidity in children 1-9 years old living in a rural hyperendemic village. We performed 5 cross sectional surveys and a longitudinal follow up in 1993 and 1994. During each cross sectional study, children were examined for fever and splenomegaly; all febrile children received thick film examination, and serologic analysis was performed in one third of these, randomly selected. The results show that the seroprevalence of anti-TRAP and anti-CS varied with age and season (p < 0.05). Association between the prevalence of anti-TRAP and splenomegaly was observed during two cross sectional surveys (June and October 1993). The presence of anti-TRAP antibody was associated with Plasmodium falciparum infection at the beginning of the transmission season (June 1993 and July 1994). A negative association between the level of anti-TRAP title and parasitemia was observed (March and October 1994). These findings suggest no clear evidence of the protective role of anti-TRAP antibodies in uncomplicated malaria, possibly due to the limited persistence of these antibodies under natural situations.
