FLU-LISA (fluorescence-linked immunosorbent assay): high-throughput antibody profiling using antigen microarrays.

ABSTRACT: Vaccination and natural infection both elicit potent humoral responses that provide protection from subsequent infections. The immune history of an individual following such exposures is in part encoded by antibodies. While there are multiple immunoassays for measuring antibody responses, the majority of these methods measure responses to a single antigen. A commonly used method for measuring antibody responses is ELISA-a semiquantitative assay that is simple to perform in research and clinical settings. Here, we present FLU-LISA (fluorescence-linked immunosorbent assay)-a novel antigen microarray-based assay for rapid high-throughput antibody profiling. The assay can be used for profiling immunoglobulin (Ig) G, IgA and IgM responses to multiple antigens simultaneously, requiring minimal amounts of sample and antigens. Using several influenza and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antigen microarrays, we demonstrated the specificity and sensitivity of our novel assay and compared it with the traditional ELISA, using samples from mice, chickens and humans. We also showed that our assay can be readily used with dried blood spots, which can be collected from humans and wild birds. FLU-LISA can be readily used to profile hundreds of samples against dozens of antigens in a single day, and therefore offers an attractive alternative to the traditional ELISA.

Project description:The unprecedented spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus subtype H5N1 in Asia and Europe is threatening animals and public health systems. Effective diagnosis and control management are needed to control the disease. To this end, we developed a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the H5N1 avian influenza virus (AIV) and implemented an antigen-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (AC-ELISA) to detect the H5 viral antigen. Mice immunized with denatured hemagglutinin (HA) from A/goose/Guangdong/97 (H5N1) expressed in bacteria or immunized with concentrated H5N2 virus yielded a panel of hybridomas secreting MAbs specific for influenza virus HA. The reactivity of each MAb with several subtypes of influenza virus revealed that hybridomas 3D4 and 8B6 specifically recognized H5 HA. Therefore, purified antibodies from hybridomas 3D4 and 8B6, which secrete immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM, respectively, were used as the capture antibodies and pooled hyperimmune guinea pig serum IgG served as the detector antibody. The specificity of the optimized AC-ELISA was evaluated by using AIV subtypes H5 H3, H4, H7, H9, and H10. Specimens containing AIV subtype H5 subtype yielded a specific and strong signal above the background, whereas specimens containing all other subtypes yielded background signals. The detection limits of the AC-ELISA were 62.5 ng of bacterium-expressed H5N1 HA1 protein and 124, 62, and 31 50% tissue culture infective doses of influenza virus subtypes H5N1/PR8, H5N2, and H5N3, respectively. Reconstituted clinical samples consisting of H5 AIVs mixed with pharyngeal-tracheal mucus from healthy chickens also yielded positive signals in the AC-ELISA, and the results were confirmed by reverse transcription-PCR. The tracheal swab samples from H9N2-infected chickens did not give positive signals. Taken together, the newly developed MAb-based AC-ELISA offers an attractive alternative to other diagnostic approaches for the specific detection of H5 AIV.
