Magnetophoretic immunoassay of allergen-specific IgE in an enhanced magnetic field gradient (2024)

Abstract

We demonstrate a novel magnetophoretic immunoassay of allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) based on the magnetophoretic deflection velocity of a microbead that is proportional to the associated magnetic nanoparticles under enhanced magnetic field gradient in a microchannel. In this detection scheme, two types of house dust mites, Dermatophagoides farinae (D. farinae) and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (D. pteronyssinus), were used as the model allergens. Polystyrene microbeads were conjugated with each of the mite extracts followed by incubation with serum samples. The resulting mixture was then reacted with magnetic nanoparticle-conjugated anti-human IgE for detection of allergen-specific IgE by using sandwich immuno-reactions. A ferromagnetic microstructure combined with a permanent magnet was employed to increase the magnetic field gradient (∼104 T/m) in a microfluidic device. The magnetophoretic velocities of microbeads were measured in a microchannel under applied magnetic field, and the averaged velocity was well correlated with the concentration of allergen-specific IgE in serum. From the analysis of pooled sera obtained from 44 patients, the detection limits of the allergen-specific human IgEs for D. farinae and D. pteronyssinus were determined to be 565 (0.045 IU/mL) and 268 fM (0.021 IU/mL), respectively. These values are 1 order of magnitude lower than those by a conventional CAP system. For evaluation of reproducibility and accuracy, unknown sera were subjected to a blind test by using the developed assay system, and they were compared with the CAP system. As a result, coefficient of variance was less than 10%, and the developed method enabled a fast assay with a tiny amount of serum (∼10 μL).

FAQs

Which of the following is used to detect allergen specific IgE? ›

Skin prick testing (SPT) is the most frequently used method for the detection of IgE antibodies, due to its rapidity, simplicity and low cost.

What is the Elisa for allergen specific IgE? ›

Allergen specific IgE ELISA Kit is for in vitro qualititative measurement of IgE in human serum. The food allergen includes milk, peanuts, egg, soy bean, wheat, tomato, fish, pawn, crab and nuts. The minimum detection limit of allergen-specific IgE antibodies is 0.35 IU/.

Which test is used to measure total IgE by capturing the antibody with solid phase anti IgE? ›

Total IgE levels are typically measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, bound to a solid support, binds IgE from a test sample, and total IgE is measured using a second, labeled anti-IgE antibody [2].

What level of IgE indicates allergy? ›

An elevated IgE level (100 ≥ IgE < 1000 kU/L) indicates allergy, eczema, or chronic skin infection.

How accurate is IgE allergy testing? ›

An allergy blood test checks your blood for increased levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. The test can help detect allergies to foods, pets, pollen or other irritating substances. Allergy blood tests can deliver false positive results more than half of the time.

What is allergen-specific IgE results? ›

An allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) test is a blood test that measures the levels of different IgE antibodies in a person's blood. Allergen-specific IgE tests are sometimes used to diagnose and better manage food allergies. They can also be helpful for environmental allergy diagnosis in some cases.

Is the ELISA allergy test accurate? ›

Yes, the ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) allergy test is considered accurate. It is used to detect specific allergen-specific IgE antibodies in a patient's blood, which helps identify potential allergens. However, the results should be interpreted in conjunction with a patient's clinical history and symptoms.

What is the difference between IgG and IgE allergy? ›

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) – A rapid immune response that can be triggered by food. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) – A more delayed and potentially more mild immune response that can be triggered by food. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) – An antibody that can support the immune functions of mucous membranes.

What autoimmune diseases cause high IgE? ›

The first reports of a presence of IgE autoantibodies in patients with autoimmune diseases have been published a long time ago, and it is now recognized that self-reactive IgE can mediate inflammatory response in bullous pemhigoid, systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic urticaria, and atopic dermatitis.

What is the cost of an IgE test? ›

The cost of an IgE Test in Delhi at Max Lab is Rs 900.

What happens if immunoglobulin IgE is high? ›

The blood usually has small amounts of IgE antibodies. Higher amounts can be a sign that the body overreacts to allergens, which can lead to an allergic reaction. IgE levels can also be high when the body is fighting an infection from a parasite and from some immune system conditions.

What is the allergen-specific IgE test method? ›

What to expect from an allergen-specific IgE test. A healthcare professional will use a small needle to collect blood from a vein in your child's arm. If your child is an infant, the blood will be collected by pricking your child's heel with a small needle. Your child will feel a quick pinprick.

What is the method of IgE testing? ›

An IgE test is a blood test that detects circulating IgE. The test includes two types of test: Testing for total IgE — the total level of IgE in the blood. Testing for specific IgE — the level of specific IgE against a particular allergen.

Which test is used to measure the IgE present in allergic patients? ›

Skin testing indications and contraindications – Skin prick testing (SPT) for food-specific IgE (sIgE) is used only in the diagnosis of IgE-mediated food allergies.

What is a RAST allergen-specific IgE blood test? ›

Blood samples for specific IgE (RAST) testing

For adults a 4 - 7 mL blood sample is required in a standard tube (no anticoagulant). With children, consider that 1 mL blood will allow you to test for a maximum of 8 allergens.
