HRP2 was quantified using a highly sensitive laboratory based quantitative bead suspension array (qSA) based on Luminex technology [17 (link)]. After incubating 2’000 magnetic beads per analyte with blood sample at 1:5 dilution, beads were sequentially incubated with in-house biotinylated antibody α-HRP2 (MBS832975, MyBiSource, San Diego, CL) and streptavidin-PE (42250-1ML, Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). After a final wash, a minimum of 50 microspheres per analyte were acquired using the Luminex xMAP® 100/200 analyser (Luminex Corp., Austin, TX). After subtracting background (blank) values, median fluorescent intensities (MFI) were normalized to account for plate to plate variation and quantification was performed against a 5-parameter logistic (5-PL) regression curve consisting of recombinant protein HRP2 type A (890015, Microcoat GmbH, Germany).
