The Trypanosoma cruzi Antigen and Epitope Atlas: changes in antibody levels over time in Chagas disease patients from the E1224 clinical study
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: These assays analyze the dynamics of the antibody responses in selected Chagas disease patients from the E1224 clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT01489228). The assays measure specific antibody-binding to 392,299 short peptides derived from Trypanosoma cruzi, spanning antigenic regions and epitopes from two different strains of the parasite (CL-Brener and Sylvio X10). The peptides were displayed as short, overlapping sequences in a tiling array format and were assayed with serum samples obtained at three different time points: Time zero (TMZ) = Recruitment; Day 65 (D65) = End of Treatment; Month 12 (12M) = End of followup. Sectorized peptide arrays (QX12-plex slides, Roche Nimblegen) were incubated with primary antibodies, washed and then incubated with fluorophore-conjugated secondary anti-human antibodies. All samples from the same patient were assayed in the same microarray slide, in separate sectors. In total, 108 samples were analyzed, corresponding to these three time points from each of the 36 selected patients. Each sample was assayed in duplicate, with duplicates performed on different slides. A total of 18 arrays (216 sectors) were used.
