NS1 Antigen • Highly conserved, soluble glycoprotein • Secreted during virus replication along with envelop proteins/glycoproteins • Present during both 1° and 2° infections • DENV-type specific – detected using MABs • Anti-NS1 produced during infection
NS1 Antigen • Appears as early as day of fever onset • Present in both 1° and 2° infections • Correlated with viremia (Alcon-LePoder et al, 2007) • Possible association with disease severity (Thomas et al., 2010, Libraty et al., 2002, Dussart et al, 2006) • Single specimen diagnostic tool
Comparison: NS1 ELISA Commercial Kits +Only sensitivities for acute samples reported *Sensitivity increased to 72% using immune complex dissociation by acid treatment
Evaluation of Dengue Diagnostic Kits • Joint project of WHO-TDR-PDVI • Initiated 2005 • Network sites established • Asia: Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam • Americas: Argentina, (Brazil), Cuba, Puerto Rico • Reference Labs established – Thailand, Puerto Rico • Steering Group with annual meetings • Evaluation protocols / SOPs • Biobanking/GCLP workshops • Network lab proficiency assured • Evaluation panels developed
Objectives • To assess the performance and operational characteristics of commercially available IgM anti-DENV and NS1 antigen detection tests for the diagnosis of dengue • To provide data on test performance to WHO member states • To provide advice on the inclusion of tests in WHO bulk procurement scheme
The Process • Companies informed of evaluation scheme by TDR • Companies that expressed interest were invited to participate • Companies signed agreement to participate • Companies sent kits to Reference Labs • Sites obtained permits for import of specimens and test kits • Tests and Evaluation Panels sent to sites from Reference Labs
Evaluation of Commercial IgM anti-DENV ELISA Kits • Evaluation Panel (n=350) • 181 confirmed dengue • 169 challenge specimens • 7 Participating Laboratories EID 2009 15(3):436-440

NS1Commercial Tests Evaluated • NS1 Microplate ELISAs • PanBio • BioRad • Standard Diagnostics • NS1 Rapid Diagnostic Tests • CTK • PanBio • BioRad • Standard Diagnostics
ComparisonsPrevious and Current Evaluation Bessoff et al., 2008 Current Evaluation 2010
Unexpected Results, NS1 ELISA’s • Company A • low sensitivity to DENV2 • 2/10 false positive for WNV IgM (challenge panel) • Company B • low sensitivity to DENV2 • 7/10 false positive for RA (challenge panel) • 2/3 YFV IgM positive (challenge panel) • Company C • low sensitivity to DENV2
Summary • NS1 antigen detection appears useful for diagnosis of 1° and 2° dengue (symptomatic DENV infection ) • Previous studies showed variability in sensitivity / specificity between commercially available kits • WHO-TDR-PDVI Evaluation – Preliminary Results • Data only from Americas • Suggest variability in sensitivity between kits
