The Simoa pan-IFNα assay was developed using the Quanterix Homebrew kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions and using two autoantibodies specific for IFNα isolated and cloned from two APS1/APECED patients. The 8H1 antibody clone was used as a capture antibody after coating on paramagnetic beads (0.3 mg/mL), and the 12H5 was biotinylated (biotin/antibody ratio = 30/1) and used as the detector at a concentration of 0.3ug/mL. The SBG revelation enzyme concentration was 150 pM. Recombinant IFNα17 was used as calibrator. The limit of detection was calculated by the mean value of all blank runs + 2SD after log conversion. The assay is fully described in Rodero et al. [13 (link)] and a video presenting all the steps is shown in Llibre et al [19 (link)].
