Sample sets used for the analyses and comparisons shown in this study

Sample set	Analysis
	Sensitivity testing	Specificity testing	Platform comparison	Precoated vs. freshly coated plates—ELISA	ROC analysis
Nepal samples of all ages	0	0	424	424	0
Tanzanian samples of all ages for ROC—previously classified as Pgp3 antibody-positive or negative by MBA	0	0	0	66	66
Tanzanian samples from PCR-positive children	103	0	0	103	0
MIF (+) nonendemic children	0	0	1	1	0
MIF (−) nonendemic children	0	154	154	154	0
Total	103	154	579	748	66

ELISA = enzyme-linked immunofluorescence assay; MBA = multiplex bead array; MIF = microimmunofluorescence assay; PCR = polymerase chain reaction; Pgp3 = protein plasmid gene product 3; ROC = receiver operator characteristics. Each sample set is also described in the Methods Section. Note that there were some analyses that used a combination of sample sets.
