RESUMEN
The laboratory diagnostic of anti-phospholipid syndrome consists in detection of anti-phospholipid antibodies using technique of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay namely in detection of anti-cardiolipin antibodies and antibodies to ß2-glycoprotein. In spite of the fact that serological diagnostic plays a key role in diagnosing anti-phospholipid syndrome application of laboratory tests s complicated by their insufficient standardization. The new approach to detection of anti-phospholipid antibodies became application of immune blotting on the basis of polyvinylidenfluoride membrane. As compared with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the advantage of the mentioned technique is in using hydrophobic solid phase for sorption of antigens. The porous structure of polyvinylidenfluoride membrane orientates hydrophilic areas of phospholipids and by that ensures their more dense distribution imitating bi-lipid layer of membranes of living organism. To specify and compare value of different techniques the comparison was implemented concerning the results of measurement of anti-phospholipid antibodies in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test-systems of various manufacturers and reagents kits for immune blotting. The collection was assembled including bio-materials from 47 patients with non-cardioembolic ischemic strokes, 20 patients with recurrent thrombosis of deep veins of lower extremities and 50 patients with obstetrics pathology and also 30 healthy donors. In the given serums aKlaIgG, aKlaIgM, aß2glycoprotein I were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique assisted by test-systems of Euroimmun and Orgentes Diagnostica and the samples with the highest titre using immune blotting technique with reagents manufactured by Medipan. On the basis of measurement of anti-phospholipid antibodies by various enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test-systems the rate of aß2glycoprotein I amounted to 31% in case of Euroimmun reagents kits for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, 78% in case of Orgentec Diagnistica test-systems for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, aKlaIgG - 2% and 30%, aKlaIgM - 31% and 54% correspondingly. The measurement of anti-phospholipid antibodies using immune blotting technique on Medipan test-systems in bio-samples with the highest titres detected aß2glycoprotein I in all patients, aKlaIgG in 70% and aKlaIgM in 30% of patients. The convergence between three commercial reagents kits varies from 20% to 88%. The standardization of commercial test-systems still to be achieved. The new technique of immune blotting can be appliedjointly with classic techniques ofserological diagnostic of anti-phospholipid syndrome. The absence of algorithms of diagnostic and standardization of different test-systems for detection of anti-phospholipid antibodies prejudices reliability of serological diagnosis of anti-phospholipid syndrome and therefore existence of anti-phospholipid syndrome as a nosologic unit.
