Generation of Antigen Microarrays to Screen for Autoantibodies in Heart Failure and Heart Transplantation. by Andrzej Chruscinski, Flora Y Y Huang, Albert Nguyen, Jocelyn Lioe, Laura C Tumiati, Stella Kozuszko, Kathryn J Tinckam, Vivek Rao, Shannon E Dunn, Michael A Persinger, Gary A Levy, Heather J Ross

“…In conclusion, we demonstrated that the autoantibody microarray technique outperforms traditional ELISAs as it uses less patient sample, has increased sensitivity, and can detect autoantibodies in a multiplex fashion. Furthermore, our results suggest that this autoantibody array technology may help to identify patients at risk of rejection following heart transplantation and identify heart transplant recipients with AMR.…”
