Whole Blood-Based Multiplex Immunoassays for the Evaluation of Human Biomarker Responses to Emerging Viruses in Resource-Limited Regions.
Viral Immunology 2017 November
Many emerging viruses such as Ebola and Lassa occur in resource-limited areas of the world. The advent of multiplex immunoassays has facilitated the study of biomarkers of disease since only small amounts of clinical material are required; however, such assays are designed and validated for only plasma or serum. This is a significant impediment when studying infectious diseases in the context of an outbreak in a developing nation. Plasma or serum can be difficult to obtain in the field due to the need for additional processing of infectious materials. Evaluation of multiplex immunoassays using frozen and thawed human whole blood (WB) would permit additional analysis using a more readily available human clinical sample. In this study, frozen and thawed human WB was directly compared with frozen and thawed plasma from normal healthy donors in a series of multiplexed immunoassays for 59 different biomarkers. We demonstrate that most important biomarkers can be evaluated using thawed WB, which will facilitate the study of human cytokine and other biomarker responses to viruses emerging in resource-limited regions.
