We investigated the effects of polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate (Tween 20) in the detection of IgG anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) by the CL-beta 2-glycoprotein-I and the standard aCL solid-phase immunoassays. We found that Tween 20 disengages cardiolipin from a variety of microtiter wells rendering aCL undetectable by both methods. Our results agree with a previous report but are discordant with others. We offer rationale that may explain some of the discrepancies. Based in our findings, we do not recommend the use of Tween 20 for the detection of aCL.
我们通过CL-β2-糖蛋白-I和标准抗心磷脂(aCL)固相免疫测定法,研究了聚氧乙烯山梨醇酐单月桂酸酯(吐温20)在检测IgG抗心磷脂抗体(aCL)中的作用。我们发现吐温20会使心磷脂从各种微量滴定孔中脱离,导致两种方法均无法检测到aCL。我们的结果与之前的一份报告一致,但与其他报告不一致。我们提供了可能解释部分差异的理由。基于我们的研究结果,我们不建议使用吐温20来检测aCL。
