The comparison of sensitivity of glycan microarray and ELISA
| Dilution | Increase fold of signal |
|
|---|---|---|
| Glycan microarray | ELISA | |
| 30 | 374.7 ± 87.83 | 4.01 ± 1.58 |
| 120 | 188.4 ± 78.93 | 1.92 ± 0.75 |
| 240 | 102.2 ± 44.21 | 1.08 ± 0.48 |
| 480 | 44.86 ± 17.05 | 0.20 ± 0.10 |
| 960 | 12.13 ± 4.08 | 0.30 ± 0.14 |
| 1,920 | 3.203 ± 1.048 | ND |
Glycan microarray showed much higher sensitivity than ELISA. The increase fold of signal defined as (signal intensity of post-immune − pre-immune)/background intensity. Values are mean ± SEM. ND, not detectable.
