Abstract

Antibody responses to Plasmodium falciparum play a critical role in disease control. Finding reliable IgG biomarkers of protection is complicated by a parasite proteome of over 5000 proteins, some with polymorphisms. Studies of anti-malarial naturally acquired and vaccine immunity would benefit from a standard high-throughput immunoassay to measure multiple antibodies. A multiplex quantitative suspension assay to measure antigen-specific IgGs was developed and its precision (reproducibility and repeatability), dynamic range, limits of detection and quantification, and non-specific binding to different P. falciparum proteins tested. A set of 288 human plasma samples from a malaria-endemic region were analysed twice by two different operators. Another set of samples from 9 malaria-naïve and 10 malaria-exposed individuals were repetitively assayed during 22 consecutive days. Positive controls, negative controls, blanks and microspheres coated with bovine serum albumin were included in all assays. The multiplex quantitative suspension assay demonstrated low non-specific signal and good estimates of precision and reproducibility between operators. The overall mean of non-specific binding measured in 288 plasma samples was 32.83 to ±...Continue Reading
