Methods A multi-line dot assay MLDA employing phosphatidylserine PS phosphatidylinositol PI cardiolipin CL and beta2-glycoprotein I p2 GPI was used to detect aPL immunoglobulin G IgG and immunoglobulin M IgM in 85 APS patients 65 disease controls and 79 blood donors. For comparison anti-CL and anti-p2 GPI IgG and IgM were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA . Results The level of agreement of both methods was good for anti-CL IgG moderate for anti-CL IgM very good for anti-p2 GPI IgG and moderate for anti-p2 GPI IgM kappa and respectively . The frequency of observed discrepancies for anti-CL IgG anti-CL IgM anti-p2 GPI IgG and anti-p2 GPI IgM was low McNemar test P not-significant respectively . Sensitivity specificity positive LR and negative -LR likelihood ratios for at least one positive aPL antibody assessed by ELISA were and respectively and for at least three positive aPl IgM and or one positive aPL IgG by MLDA were and respectively. The frequency of IgM to PI PS and CL and combination of three or more aPL IgM detected by MLDA was significantly higher in APS patients with cerebral transient ischemia P respectively . Conclusions The novel MLDA is a readily available single-step sensitive diagnostic tool for the multiplex detection of aPL .
