Methods The comparison data for three of the six lupus nephritis panel analytes (MCP-1, NGAL, and adiponectin) is shown below. Samples were run both on ELISA and Luminex simplex assays to determine how well the ELISA data correlated with Luminex data prior to assembling the analytes into a panel. Pearson correlation coefficients were 0.88 (p=0.04) for NGAL, 0.89 (p<0.00001) for MCP-1 and 1.0 (p<0.00001) for adiponectin. • The levels of the renal biomarkers are measured by Luminex Magpix assays and compared to ELISA data for 16 randomly chosen samples. • The multiplex assay we generated was compared to commercial ELISA kits for human NGAL (BioPorto Diagnostics, Denmark), human MCP-1, and human adiponectin (the latter two from R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). • Initially all kits were used according to their individual manufacturers recommendations. NGAL and MCP-1 bead sets continue to follow the manufacturers protocol; however, due to dilution constraints, we used a different dilution factor as our standard for adiponectin, keeping the other two assays regular standard curve intact. Data from these were compared to the data generated from the multiplex on the same day. To assemble the three bead sets into one assay, we used the ProcartaPlex Human Basic Kit (eBioscience, Vienna, Austria) for the liquid medium. • ELISAs were compared to these singleplex magnetic bead assays, prior to combining the assays into a triplex. Data was analyzed using Spearman rank order. Potential Biomarkers for Predicting Lupus Nephritis Activity in Children OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to compare the results of multiplex assays to published results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for a panel of six biomarkers, hemopexin, ceruloplasmin, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and adiponectin. Previous studies have identified these biomarkers to have the potential to predict lupus nephritis activity. This study aims to develop multiplex assays for established panels of these SLE nephritis biomarkers. METHODS. The levels of the renal biomarkers are measured by multiplex assays and compared to published ELISA data. This was initially done by comparing magnetic bead assays with ELISA data from the same day. Magnetic bead assays were combined with minimal changes to manufacturers recommendations for further comparison with the corresponding ELISAs. RESULTS. The data for three of the six analytes shows that there was not a significant difference between ELISA data and the data collected from the multiplex assays for NGAL, MCP-1, and adiponectin (Pearson correlation coefficients were 0.88 (p=0.04) for NGAL, 0.89 (p<0.00001) for MCP-1 and 1.0 (p<0.00001) for adiponectin.) CONCLUSION. This allows us to begin creating an established multiplex panel, to which we can compare future samples. This will make the process of determining biomarker levels faster and more cost effective, so that we can better predict lupus activity. As we continue with this study, we will test the remaining three analytes. Although a promising start, further research with a larger sample size is required to validate the Luminex multiplex technology. Results Discussion References Introduction Caroline B.
