Characterization of anti-IFN-γ autoAbs in AOID patients by competitive-binding ELISA. The domains recognized by anti-IFN-γ autoAbs in patient sera were evaluated by competitive-binding ELISA. The binding of each mouse neutralizing anti-IFN-γ mAb (B27, B133.5, and MD-1) was competed with the anti-IFN-γ autoAbs in each patient serum. The reduction of the optical density demonstrates that there was competition. (A) The optical density of the B27 mAb. (B) The optical density of the B133.5 mAb. (C) The optical density of the MD-1 mAb. (D) Percentage of inhibition was calculated and showed the relative level of anti-IFN-γ autoAbs recognizing the mAb-binding epitope in patient sera. Experiments were performed in triplicate. Error bars represent the mean ± SEM. C, non-competitive condition; N, normal serum; A, AOID patient serum.
