Application of microTAS (micro Total Analysis Systems) technologies utilizing chips with microfluidic channels to clinical diagnostic testing has drawn a lot of attention since it is expected to contribute to shortening reaction time, reduction of reagent/sample consumption, reducing instrument size, and other advantages of microchip electrophoresis. We have developed a fully automated immunoassay system by employing isotachophoresis followed by capillary gel electrophoresis for immunoreaction and B/F separation in microfluidic channels on polymer microchips. Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) was used for detection of the sandwich immunocomplex composed of DNA-conjugate antibody, antigen and fluorescent dye-conjugated antibody.

The diagnostic and clinical relevance of Ab to pure and phosphatidylserine-complexed prothrombin for primary and secondary APS was investigated in a total of 357 patients with (n = 169) and without (n = 188) connective tissue diseases. The overall frequency of anti-prothrombin Ab in sAPS, pAPS and patients without APS-related symptoms were found to be 50.0, 37.

The antigen specificity of anti-phospholipid antibodies in infectious mononucleosis (IM) was studied using ELISA for the detection of anti-beta2-glycoprotein I (beta2-GPI), anti-annexin V, anti-protein S and anti-prothrombin antibodies and TLC immunostaining for the detection of anti-phospholipid antibodies. This technique enabled us to look at antibodies reacting to 'pure' phospholipid antigens in the absence of protein contamination. Sera from 46 patients with IM, 18 with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), 21 with primary anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome (PAPS), 50 with Helicobacter pylori infection and 30 healthy blood donors were tested.
