a

All patient samples that had an anti-ESA concentration of greater than 250 ng/ml by SPRIA were further characterized for isotype (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, and IgM) and tested in a cell-based bioassay to determine if neutralizing antibodies were present. All patient samples were tested in the ImmunoCAP anti-ESA IgG4 assay. All samples that that had less than 15 ng/ml of anti-ESA IgG4 were reported as negative.

b

This patient tested anti-ESA IgG4 antibody positive at a subsequent time point.
