AbstractCurrent assays to detect allergen-specific IgE have constraints related to obtaining pure, conformationally active allergen, variability in allergen extracts, sample volume required, and turnaround time. The luciferase immunoprecipitation systems (LIPS) immunoassay is a fast, sensitive assay created using recombinant antigens that requires a low specimen volume. These assays can also be easily modified to detect multiple antigens and antibody isotypes. Here, we demonstrate the use of LIPS assays as an innovative method to quantitatively measure allergen component-specific IgE in small sample volumes. Sera from healthy volunteers, helminth-infected adults, and peanut-allergic children were screened for IgE to cat using ImmunoCAP. These samples were also measured for IgE against Fel d 1 using LIPS. LIPS signal correlated to cat IgE levels with rS = 0.6204, p < 0.001. The LIPS signal: noise ratio differed significantly between cat IgE-samples and cat IgE+ samples with values > 0.5 kU/L, with the ability to differentiate cat IgE – individuals from cat IgE+ individuals with 85% sensitivity and 76% specificity. Given their rapidity, efficiency, sensitivity, and quantitation over a broad dynamic range, LIPS immunoassays can be a robust and flexible tool with potential uses in allergy research, diagnostics, and treatment.
