Abstract

Multiplex assays for autoantibodies have shown utility both in research towards understanding the basic biology of autoimmune disease, and as tools for clinical diagnosis. New label-free multiplex analysis methods have the potential to streamline both the process of assay development and assay workflow. We report fabrication and testing of a 5-plex autoantigen microarray using the Arrayed Imaging Reflectometry (AIR) platform. This label-free technology provides rapid, sensitive, and quantitative detection of an arbitrary number of analytes in a standard multiwell format. In this work, we demonstrate that AIR is able to detect antibodies to Ro60, La/SSB, Scl-70, BicD2, and Ro52 in single-donor human serum samples with multiplex results comparable to singleplex ELISA or Luminex assays.
